UPDATE: Sheriffs sue over COLORADO gun laws

[ShooterBull]

By the way, I hope you guys who are giving up your Colorado hunts, enjoy your hunts in good old Washington state. Somehow I just don't think your experience will be anywhere close to what you could have had in Colorado.

Depends on where you are going? The "honey hole" is 100% for elk so far. Just trying to fill the freezer, a nice set of antlers for the rafters are only a bonus. :-)

I'd be happy going to Colorado and killing a cow elk. I wouldn't be going for the antlers but for the experience of hunting in a different type of country. And actually, I probably would spend very little money while in the state of Colorado, other than gas for my truck.

My opinion: The hunting guides and hunting oriented industries in Colorado did not promote any of the gun control legislation that has been proposed, or recently passed in Colorado.  The anti-gun zealots would love for hunters to stop going to Colorado to hunt; they will have achieved their objective.  It is your choice, but I personally would suggest working on preventing more bad laws from being passed, and to support the hunting industry in Colorado if you like to hunt in that state.  Work to get anti-gun legislators voted out of office so these unjustified laws can be repealed.  Don't attack our allies in Colorado; the anti-gun legislators and the Governor could care less.  Support our allies in Colorado and work as hard as you can to unify our voice in this state and nationally.

Thats for sure. I hope you have fun.

I think people are WAY over exaggerating the impact to the "little guy". IF 1000 people boycott, that's about 1/2 million $ hit to the state. Spread those 1000 people across the state, are those businesses even going to notice? I have never spent a lot of money there other than a meal or two and gas. I know most people are the same. The state will take the brunt.

Well said jshunt!

So if it's not going to have any affect, why go along with the so called boycott?

Don't forget the mandatory stop at a local greasy spoon for a cheeseburger and fries, followed by peach pie a la mode.  No better way to finish off a good week of hunting.

Well said jshunt!

+1 Well said Jshunt! I hope there is a MAJOR change in the political climate in Colorado!   Side note: had the pleasure of meeting Jshunt this weekend! Great guy! I need to become more involved in the issues that are at hand. Jshunt has great views on the subjects, count me as an avid fan!

Read it again, little effect to the "little guy", some effect to the state.

Explain to me again how an anti-gun government will be influenced by a minor drop in hunter numbers.

Using Washington as an example, would Jay Inslee or Patty Murray soften their anti gun stances if hunter numbers drop?

If anything that would encourage them to pass more anti gun laws.

Tell me what you have done??

For one, I asked a pertinent question:

"Explain to me again how an anti-gun government will be influenced by a minor drop in hunter numbers."

[actionshooter]

 So your answer is "nothing"  I see the same thing from the same people, they don't like the idea of a boycott when it could affect (or not) the little guy, but they have no idea themselves of what might help. Instead they keep crying that its not fair.
 Sounds like a closet liberal.

[Bob33]

I get it. Because Actionshooter and Dave tell me to do something, I should do it even if I don't believe it will have any positive effect.

Carry on.
