A number of cities and towns in Boulder County have passes various gun ordinances recently - I hadn’t paid too much attention until the County decided to start the process to do the same, as this will now directly affect me. Are there any lawyers who can help interpret the ordinances and how they will affect hunters/gun owners? Constructive feedback would be great!
2022-5 (https://pub-bouldercounty.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=14838) - Section 1-a-1-v defines an assualt weapon as having a detachable magazine and “a shroud attached to the barrel, or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel”. This sounds very similar to a stock on virtually all rifles.
Section 2-a says “No person, corporation or other entity in unincorporated Boulder County may manufacture, import, purchase, sell or transfer any assault weapon, large-capacity magazine, or rapid-fire trigger activator” but does not define import. Seeing as purchase or sell are called out separately how would this affect someone driving into Boulder County to hunt in unit 29 or 20? Or if I drive out of the county and then back - am I “import”ing my rifles?
2022-4 (https://pub-bouldercounty.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=14835) - Section 1-a-3 Sounds like it will effectively eliminate the limited Rabbit Mountain elk hunt to control the overly large resident population - am I interpreting this correctly?
2022-2 (https://pub-bouldercounty.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=14834) - I have kids. When they are under 21 how can I legally get them rifles/shotguns to hunt with?
Are there any hunting organizations with legal affairs people who can help interpret these?
Thanks!
