I guess but Colorado Springs and Pueblo MUCH more conservative than Denver or other towns/cities. Colorado Springs government is 'bi partisan' by design.

We can't eh?

Such rebellion I like it!

CA WAS a red state. CO WAS a red state. Sorry, but you folks living there are going to go through the same fate as CA. What's worse for you are all the legalized drugs. That guarantees it will never go back to red.

I grew up there. I'll never move back.

Was the sales clerk cute? Might be she wanted to find out who you were for differet reasons. At least the ones at my local WM sports area are all kinda young and really cute in that soccer momish way. Wishful thinking I guess.

Ft Collins has moved to completely nanny. I have a Crossman air pistol that I use to keep the geese from becoming comfortable on my dock and the last time I bought pellets at Ace Hardware they didn't ID me. Most of the smaller gun stores around here sell any magazine you want by popping the bottom plate off and calling it a "parts kit."

how do you know if some weird local law exists or not? And how it affects you?

Well, the politicians rely on the long established concept of Ignorantia juris non excusat (also expressed as nemo censetur ignorare legem). There is a presumption that citizens have a responsibility to know the laws their legislators enact in their behalf.

There is a counter argument which is not often fielded, that legislators ought have the responsibility to ensure that the body of enacted law not exceed the ability of the commonweal to comprehend. (There's scholarly debate on what to do when laws exceed comprehension, but such things are ignored by legislators, as the only tool they ow is the ability to make laws.)

Sportsman's or the Walmart? Either wouldn't surprise me. The Walmart is a dump but I like Sportsman's. I do a lot of shopping there, but they have funny corporate things, like walking you to the front if you buy a gun.

Yep I am in the springs as well and shop at Sportsman's all the time. I rarely go into Walmart anymore for anything and that one on east platte is a particular dump.

The last and finally time I was in a Dick’s Sporting Goods Store, they insisted that I produce my ID to buy a small Swiss Army knife. I was 60 at the time. Store policy - not local law.

Tell me about how long you lived in Colorado, where, any 'gun problems' you had..

I think @Blkhrt13 made an astute and succinct observation, although it is predominantly a Front Range problem imposed on the rest of the state.

I had a Walmart employee tell me with a straight face that it was against state law for me to open a box of .32 ACP to see if they were flat-nose or round-nose bullets. (The flat-nose are prone to rimlock in my Kel-Tec P32.) I asked him what the purpose would be of such a law, and he said if was because I might get fingerprints on the casings, and then if I didn't buy the ammo and it was later used in crime, the investigation would be hampered by my fingerprints on the casings.

Where do you even begin with something like that? Needless to say, there is no such law, but I was unable to convince him of that fact.
