Magpul Moves To Wyoming and Texas
From The Washington Times:
“Moving operations to states that support our culture of individual liberties and personal responsibility is important,†said Magpul CEO Richard Fitzpatrick, who started the privately held company in 1999 from the basement of his home in Longmont, Colo. “This relocation will also improve business operations and logistics as we utilize the strengths of Texas and Wyoming in our expansion.â€
The cost to Colorado’s economy, according to the company: $85 million in local economic activity and up to 400 supply-chain jobs.
Sheriffs Ignore Gun Control Laws
From The New York Times:
Some sheriffs, like Sheriff Cooke, are refusing to enforce the laws, saying that they are too vague and violate Second Amendment rights. Many more say that enforcement will be “a very low priority,†as several sheriffs put it. All but seven of the 62 elected sheriffs in Colorado signed on in May to a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the statutes.
The resistance of sheriffs in Colorado is playing out in other states, raising questions about whether tougher rules passed since Newtown will have a muted effect in parts of the American heartland, where gun ownership is common and grass-roots opposition to tighter restrictions is high.
Colorado Company Moving To Wyoming
From The Laramie Boomerang:
Maverick Ammunition manufactures target-grade ammunition and ammunition for hunting. It also manufactures tactical-grade ammunition for use in law enforcement. The company’s product line includes well-known shooting sport brands such as Hornady, Nosler, Lake City and Berry’s, according to a statement released by Maverick Ammunition CEO Curt Perry.
The company is expected to employ more than 50 people. There will be full-time and part-time positions, ranging from entry-level manufacturing, to clerical and bookkeeping, to experienced warehouse and distribution managers, Perry wrote.
Facing Recall CO State Senator Resigns
From Denver Post:
Democratic state Sen. Evie Hudak has resigned her seat to forestall a recall effort launched by constituents who sought to oust her from office for her support of gun-control laws passed by lawmakers last spring.
Hudak’s move ends the recall process, as now a Democratic vacancy committee can appoint someone to fill her seat until 2014.
Both Colorado Senators Recalled!
The New York Times has the story:
The recall elections ousted two Democratic state senators, John Morse and Angela Giron, and replaced them with Republicans. Both defeats were painful for Democrats – Mr. Morse’s because he had been Senate president, and Ms. Giron’s because she represented a heavily Democratic, working-class slice of southern Colorado.
“Using a weapon in self defense is absurd”
From Colorado Peak Politics:
But near the end of the interview, Hullinghorst lets her guard down and says, “The thought that the only way we can protect ourselves is to wield our own weapon is completely absurd and an argument that I absolutely discount as frivolous.†Apparently, Senator Evie Hudak’s notorious line that the woman testifying wouldn’t have been able to protect herself with a firearm anyway is more common among Democrats than originally thought.
This is Why Angela Giron is Being Recalled in Colorado

Would any elected official even consider saying this about the first amendment?!

Want To Transfer A Gun In Colorado?
The new law passed in Colorado that deals with “transfers” of firearms is now very similar to what you have to do in New Zealand. Don’t take my word for it. Listen to this guy:
USPS Must Allow Firearms In Parking Lots
Posted by Brian in Law, Threat Watch on 13/Jul/2013 13:48
The previous ban on firearms in Postal Service parking lots has been found unconstitutional.
From Gun Watch:
A Colorado federal district court ruled today in favor of a Colorado man and a national gun rights group holding that a U.S. Postal Service regulation barring firearms in its parking lots violates their right to keep and bear arms under the Constitution.

A small group of gun rights activists broke the law in front of the capitol by swapping magazines.
