July 1st 2013 Changes to the Trading Post

What's the deal about mag extensions? They aren't expressly forbidden in the bill, right? So why would they not be allowed for sale? It's not like a lot of those pop up in the Trading Post anyway, but technically they aren't illegal, right? Just curious and throwing it out there for some thought.

Mag extensions are not illegal, so long as they don't bring the overall capacity over 15 rounds. For example, you could have a ten round low capacity Glock mag, and put a +2 extension on it. With that said, the way I understand the bill, you'd be screwed trying to sell a Glock 19 with a 15 round mag, because you could put an extension on it. Seems to me we will either be selling our pistols without mags, or purchasing low capacity "ban state" mags. This is how I understand things, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, close. #1, if the mag extensions themselves are not illegal, then they shouldn't be disallowed on any classified ad in CO. I currently have x number of any magazine. If I understand it correctly, I can take any magazine that I currently have and slap on a magazine extension at any point from now until it decomposes or I die. Once signed, the only thing the law will prohibit me from doing is buying and/or selling any magazine that is capable of, or easily converted to hold 15+ rounds. The law isn't written to forbid the expansion of currently owned magazines, at any point in time, as far as I can tell.

Anyone else have any input?
