I live in Pueblo, Colorado. I was looking at a spare magazine for my carry gun an HK P30 sk. I wanted one with the pinky extender thingy. 13 round magazine which is legal in Colorado. C.R.S. 18-12-301 states nothing holding more than 15 rounds is banned. So what am I missing?

Their business policy not to ship to commie state? Sucks, but nothing you can do about it.

Well, right out of the gate, your stated interpretation of the referenced statute is NOT correct!

That said, often times vendors just aren't willing to take a chance in states that have Bullshit Anti-2A Laws, especially considering some states do NOT have State Preemption Laws, which restrict local jurisdictions from enacting laws/ordinances that are more restrictive the the state law.

Simply stated, for many vendors, doing business in a Ban/Commie States is NOT worth the hassle and/or liability! It is what it is....You need to either find another vendor, or move to a Free State!

I ordered a Colt carbine from CDNN after passage of the magazine capacity infringement but before the effective date, and they refused to include the supplied factory 30-round magazine.

And yes, some companies announced that they wouldn’t do certain types of business with “ban” states—as if someone attempting to order from them had supported the state’s action.

I certainly didn't support any of it. I can understand a company moving out of a "commie" state, but refusing to do business with an individual inside that state seems a bit extreme if the item is legal inside that state.

I'm in WA and now some vendors won't ship P80 kits to WA because the ghost gun law is vague enough to scare them off.

So you make do.
Find a vendor that will ship.
And when you do, you don't buy just one mag.
No one does that.

As mentioned before they just don't want to take the risk which could put someone out of business by having to pay legal fees defending their business. Perhaps you can find what you need locally.

Not trying to break the law but if the original posters point is true why not just find a friend in a 'free' state to buy the magazine and then mail it to him?

Sometimes the mags with the extensions are difficult to find. I waited a long time for H&K to just get the pinkeye extensions in stock.

Unfortunately, that’s life in a ban state. I can appreciate the fact that sellers shouldn’t have to know the laws of every state.

When buying firearms, I’ve had pretty good luck explaining to them that either the item is compliant or if it has the dreaded high cap mags, that my dealer can receive it, but, can’t release the mags to me.

I’ve had some state that they don’t care about the laws and they won’t sell because the state is anti-2A, period. Of course, it’s their prerogative.

Sig is actually the only company I have an issue with. They won’t sell state compliant mags direct, although every other OEM seems to with no issue. This is not a big deal since I can usually find them cheaper, however, their policy of requiring warranty work to be sent through a dealer is a pain in the ass.

Many commie states have laws that vary by city or county. Those laws can change frequently in each jurisdiction. A seller in another state may feel it's not worth it to have an employee research each sale in your state to sell a $20 or $30 item or take a chance on legal sanction.
I've found that living in a state with consistent and reasonable gun laws, enforced by statute, has a lot of other benefits for my freedoms outside of just firearms law.
The state guns laws are a reflection of your governments attitude towards many other things too.
