I wanted to express some concerns about the possible high-cap mag bans here in Colorado and the rest of the US. Even though us high-cap gun owners are grandfathered in how can we prove we owned these firearms before the ban? How can we get replacement parts and mags for our weapons? This to me opens up a world of harassment from the government and law enforcement. My major concerns are my xdm40 is my only carry weapon for self defense and if I get stopped by an LEO I would have to prove I owned this firearm before this ban took place. I imagine in this situation the LEO would take possession of such firearm until you can prove you are grandfathered. The other concern is how would this affect replacement parts for such weapons? Could I still buy extra mags? Could I even buy a replacement spring for my old mags? The problems are clear. We as law-abiding citizens and lawful gun owners could possibly face weapons charges over a weapon we legally own. In the end it would be our word against theirs. I'm aware this bill has yet to be approved but wanted to show my concern for the topic. These bans show no direct relation to slowing gun violence, it only opens the doors to criminals to have easier targets. I myself never carried for protection until my home was broken into and I was robbed at gunpoint. I'd love to live in a perfect world where I don't have to carry for defense but it is what it is and you have to be prepared. Do I blame the gun he used to rob me... NO. I blame the criminal for his actions though he was never caught and brought to justice. A gun ban would not have stopped this robbery as he used a lever action rifle. These types of crimes and mostly committed with the most readily available weapon. Which in most cases are stolen or obtained from people they know.
So back to topic I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to help with proving I am grandfathered. I want to contact a lawyer and have some paperwork done and mailed to me first class mail and not open it. Inside would contain my serial numbers of such firearms and date of purchase. Any advice on this would be great! Thanks for reading!
