Snail drums and the law

A little update here for those interested and specifically for those living in Colorado.

The Governor of Colorado requested techincal guidance to use with the July 1 law. These are published on the Colorado Bureau of Investigation web site under a tab "2013 Firearms Regulations":

Technical Guidance on the Interpretation and Application of House Bill 13-1224 Large Capacity Magazine Ban

Additional Technical Guidance on the Interpretation and Application of House Bill 13-1224 Large Capacity Magazine Ban

They are only a couple pages and easy to read but make no notice or mention of colletors items or curios and relics.

As they read anyone that has possessed the item before the law went into effect may continue to posses it but may not transfer it or obtain more.

I called CBI for clarification. I was referred to the office of the Adjutant General. I called there and was referred to CBI (that didn't catch anyone off guard did it?). After a discussion with the person on the line who carefully walked me through the steps to find what I needed on the internet--you guessed it, the above papers. Then politely told that if I needed any additional guidance I would need to hire a privet attorney.

To my question: "If I display my 'high capacity magazines' at a gun show, how will a law enforcement officer know if I should be arrested"? I was given the same answer.

Just to keep under the radar I don't think I'll take my two snail drums to the gun show.

I would like to sell them but I guess I would have to drive down to Arizona and mail them out.
