UPDATE: Sheriffs sue over COLORADO gun laws

[Bob33]

I understand the anti-CO sentiment, but would not customers boycotting me because I happen to reside in a state with Patty Murray, Jim McDermott, and Jay Inslee as some of our elected representatives.

[WSU]

You are either part of the solution or part of the problem. I think a boycott of Co. and business based there is warranted. Im calling coors and belgium brewing today and telling them no more of your products for me. Lets spread the word among our coworkers, family and friends. Just by not buying coors the impact should be major. Lets all here at least boycott coors! 

Good call.  Plus, light beers are damn-near interchangeable.

I agree. All the more reason for us not to sit on the sidelines while these hosers do us painfully. Keep sending the message and make if loud and frequent.

I just emailed coors and gave them the bad news. Be aware that its now miller/coors and molson/coors now. All products i can live without thank you very much. Power to the People baby!

I agrees with Pianoman9701.... I am not a resident of Colorado, I do not get to vote there, I do not have time to be there to be an activist nor would they care about some Out Of Staters opinion. The only thing the state of Colorado would care about me is my $!  To people who say "you are hurting the mom and pop shops" well I guess it will, but hopefully temporarily. Our right to Bear Arms should not be compromised or negotiated in any way, by anyone. The state of Colorado did not give the people of Colorado the  right to bear arms nor do they have the right to take it away. My 2cents-Already cancelled my archery elk hunt for this year. Someplace else will receive that $.

Just gave New Belgium Brewing the bad news. My message to them:


Well its a sad day. Since the governor of Co. has signed into law a bill infringing on the Constitutional 2nd amendment  rights of law abiding citizens of the state of Co. i will no longer be purchasing your products, or those good and services offered by other business' of Co. Ranger has been my goto brew since its introduction here at home and in my local pub. I usually purchased 2 six packs a week but no more. I intend to ask my favorite watering hole to consider pulling your taps from the pub; sorry.   And i was so looking forward to sampling the new IPA. I sincerely hope all of you good folks at NBB understand my frustration and that of others. A boycott of Co. and her business' is afoot here in Wa. State and we hope it is'nt a terrible inconveinence. No vacations, fishing or hunting trips, no sporting events attended, no skiing or bicycle tours, sigh! oh well. Goodbye.

I sent the Gov (and F&G) a letter 2 weeks ago telling him if this law was inacted i would no longer hunt in Colorado, actually our group did.
 Voting with $ is the only thing that will make them see it our way. But for this to work it will take millions and unfourtunately people will not go along b/c banning standard capacity mags and modern sporting rifles does not affect them.

[Slingeroflead]

My wife was planning on giving me a hunting trip for my birthday. CO was one of the places on the short list. I am mailing a letter to the Governor telling him why I will NOT be choosing their state.

Looks like this might be the year to go on a hunt in Colorado- less competition from other hunters.   

I think I'll start doing my research tonight. Always have wanted to hunt mule deer in Colorado.

You don't see any threat to your rights at all, do you BC? You understand that the people pushing for bans of MSRs want more than that, right? They think they can save us by getting rid of all guns. And you understand that if your voice isn't heard in opposition, they'll just assume you agree, right?

If the politicians in CO who stood up for this ban take a huge bashing for hurting their state, others will take notice and we can defend our 2nd Amendment. If they don't, it's an open door for all to enter. Talk about a slippery slope. This one is the slickest yet.

No chance of that happening.

You just don't seem to get this.
It's not about your crummy deer hunt, it's about the livelihoods of a lot of people who work for Magpul, and about the civil rights of maybe a million gun owners in Colorado.

[lokidog]

I'll gladly boycott my sister who lives in Steamboat Springs....

Magpul is out.

Colorado ammunition magazine manufacturer leaving the state over newly passed gun laws
Associated Press – 7 hrs ago
ERIE, Colo. (AP) -- A Colorado ammunition magazine manufacturer is making good on a threat to leave the state after lawmakers approved new gun laws.
Magpul Industries says it plans to begin packing up as soon as possible for a move to several other states. A search is under way to find new locations.
According to the Denver Post, Magpul chief operating officer Doug Smith said Wednesday a bill signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper that prohibits the sale of gun magazines with more than 15 rounds could seriously impact the company's business.
Magpul is based in Erie, which is about 30 miles north of Denver. It has about 200 workers and is the largest Colorado company that potentially would be affected by the bill, one of three state gun measures passed this year.

According to KUNC radio, “Colorado is a popular destination for hunters in particular, with the state issuing more licenses than any other for big game, including elk. The state Division of Parks and Wildlife says big game hunting nets more than $400 million annually.”

The Grand Junction Sentinel reported back in December 2011 that, “Studies have shown the economic impact of fishing, hunting and wildlife-watching activities to Colorado is $3 billion annually, supporting 33,800 full-time jobs in the state.”

Them are some big numbers....
