    Probably easier to just move the venue.
    Not all competitors will have possessed such mags prior to 2013 (they weren't old enough, weren't into firearms before then, didn't get their current gun before then, whatever). Since not everyone can legally have 15+ round magazines it's a competitive equity problem. This was literally the exact reason why rule 3.3.1 was put in place. It probably would have been easier if USPSA had said 3.3.1 was applicable when it was announced that Nationals was being held in Colorado. I'm guessing that they didn't because that would probably dampen the enthusiasm some potential attendees would have about attending the match. Or maybe hold Prod/L10/Single Stack/Revolver Nationals at Cameo and the other divisions someplace else.

    But the USPSA BoD seems to revel in making stupid decisions, so this is all rather unsurprising.

    Why would IDPA care about >10 round mags?

    Maybe my vote will count? Ha ha ha……..

    North side of the Springs.

    I grew up in Laramie so ironically purchased most of my pre-ban magazines in Colorado during the 1990s.

    I have no doubt that this affidavit BS is being pushed by Denver. Is it a requirement for all shooters at any state run range?

    Many IDPA competitors compete with standard capacity magazines even though they only load to 10 rounds. Many people don’t own 10 round magazines if they don’t have to. It just makes sense not to put people in a potentially compromising situation, or force them to buy magazines for a single match. Consider two, some people shoot STI‘s. Those mags are not cheap.

    Take it from somebody who knows. I bought 15 round STI magazines so I could compete in New Jersey. It was probably a $400 investment. Two years later, they change the law to 10 rounds.

    Or 11. It is convenient to use a full capacity magazine to get to a 10+1 start versus a "Barney Mag."

    I shoot mostly ESP with 1911s and have to carry a Barney Mag. I have looked for a SLIGHTLY extended single stack magazine for LAMR but not found one.

    I’m not too sure about the book answer to your question but El Paso county uniformly DGAFs about the mag ban. Even after having heard several sources saying that our sheriff was one of the many that blatantly stated it wouldn’t be upheld, I was a little unsure when I first moved here until I shot my first match. I was in a squad with two county sheriff’s deputies and a CO Springs police officer and they were all rocking full/extended capacity mags. The stores around here all sell various size mags so the county is fairly pro-gun.

    Thanks,

    That is the read I’ve been getting from everyone there. I wish Colorado today was the Colorado of the 1990s, but the state offers so much more in other aspects than my other options were. I’m specifically targeting ElPaso county as well instead of crossing the lines into Douglas (while that is more of a school thing the general concept extends to guns as well).
