    Sounds to me like the magazines grandfathering has been eliminated.
    Am I wrong?
    Can anyone point out where it says you can still legally own mags purchased before 2013?
    People ask for info at the range and I don't want to give incorrect information.
    As I read it, the final revision of the bill states:

    In Colorado Revised Statutes, 18-12-302, amend (1)(a) as follows:

    18-12-302. Large-capacity magazines prohibited - penalties - exceptions.

    (1) (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, on and after July 1, 2013, a person who sells, transfers, or possesses a large-capacity magazine commits a class 2 CLASS 1 misdemeanor.

    The bill amends the language of subsection (1)(a) to eliminate the words "on and after July 1, 2013" and changes the class of Misdemeanor from a Class 2 to a Class 1.

    It does not change the language of subsection 2, which states:

    (2) (a) A person may possess a large-capacity magazine if he or she:

    (I) Owns the large-capacity magazine on July 1, 2013; and

    (II) Maintains continuous possession of the large-capacity magazine.

    (b) If a person who is alleged to have violated subsection (1) of this section asserts that he or she is permitted to legally possess a large-capacity magazine pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (2), the prosecution has the burden of proof to refute the assertion.

    My $0.02. Take it for what you will.

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
