Colorado – SB 25-003 has been signed by the governor . It looks like all gas operated long guns are banned for sale in the state. Looks like you can’t bring any into the states also. Doesn’t say that but if you can’t sell or buy them in the state you most likely can’t bring one in. Gas Operated handguns are also banned. Most handguns are recoil operated. I am also under the impression the Desert Eagle is Gas Operated. It also updates the punishment for having a higher cap mag from class 2 to class 1.

Note: I had the wrong date for this bill to become law. The actual date is (2) ON OR AFTER AUGUST 1, 2026, IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO KNOWINGLY MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTE, TRANSFER, SELL, OR PURCHASE A SPECIFIED SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARM;


Iowa – Effective July 1,2025 Iowa will issue a permit to carry to those 18 or older. The Governor signed the bill and even stated, “House File 924, an Act relating to the minimum age for acquiring or carrying weapons.” So this would also lower their age to carry under permitless carry and the age restrictions the previous version of this law stated you had to be 21.

South Dakota – Not Effective Until July 1, 2025. South Dakota has passed SB 100 which will allow those with a enhanced permit, a restricted enhanced permit, or a reciprocal permit to carry in State supported schools of higher education. This also includes stun guns, mace and pepper spray. You can read the bill at

South Dakota – Not Effective Until July 1, 2025 South Dakota passed SB 1222 which will allow those carrying a firearm with a permit to drive onto school property (K-12) to drop off and pick up their children. They will also be able to secure their firearm inside the vehicle. There law was very wordy and it was hard to read the law and know for sure if you could have it on you while dropping off children. That has been settled now. You can read the bill at: https://sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill/26055/283883

South Dakota – Not Effective Until July 1. 2015 South Dakota passed HB 1218 which instructs Counties, Townships and Municipality they can not stop employees with a “Permit to Carry” from carrying their Concealed firearm on the job. https://sdlegislature.gov/Session/Bill/26037/284516

It did make the news, it got signed a couple months ago. Jared Polesmoker is probably the most hated governor in the country now, which is quite an achievement.

Apparently there's a draconian licensing scheme to legally acquire semi autos in the works. All guns acquired before August 1st are grand fathered in. It's all completely unconstitutional unenforceable bullshit that will get overturned eventually, but in the meantime every good person in this occupied communist enclave is having their constitutional rights trampled. I don't know what I'll have to do/pay/undergo when my CHP is up for renewal in a few years.

Guess 11-87's and 1100's are banned then.

The intention was to ban AR pistols and the like, I think the shotguns may be OK(for now) because they do not use a detachable magazine. The P7 is likely collateral damage.

Could be wrong, the whole bill is a mess written by people with no firearms knowledge whatsoever.

Although there’s no way of knowing how a cop or court would view and interpret the P7’s mechanism, it’s not actually gas operated. The gas piston is to retard the movement and velocity of the slide, not to operate the extraction and chambering functions. Is that “operating”? Not in the normal sense.

Moving out of Colorado was one of the best decisions I've ever made. That state has some serious problems. A friend of mine has a nice collection there. After all these laws he is essentially becoming a criminal. Sad to see.

As far as I know you can keep what you have, but you have to jump through a New-Jerseyean licensing process to aquire anything semi-auto after Aug '26.

Of course, lawsuits are already pending.
