Good for them. Wish I could get some of those cheap Pmags though.
I don't blame them.
Thanks for sticking to your guns MagPul!!!
I'm not a Coloradoan but they've earned me as a customer for life.

And that folks is the way we do that.
I can see Illinois trying to pass a magazine ban, maybe we can get in on something like this soon.

Move to AZ! I'll run the operation, JACK!
Step aside FITZ! ;)
Maybe I over looked where it was stated but I did not see any mention of the state which Magpul plans to relocate to. Has there been any leak to this information?
Time to start looking in the Colorado gun classifieds for mags!
Some people are butthurt over this, but here's why I think it's absolutely perfect if they are forced to leave:
The legislature of Colorado could have listened to Magpul, and their other constituents and chosen not to act on a mag capacity ban, and other gun control measures. The legislators said, "**** you." to Magpul, and the other voters of CO.
So now, Magpul is going to pull their revenues, taxes, and business from CO, and as a final return "**** You." they are going to defy the spirit of the new law(s) by flooding the Colorado market with standard capacity, pre-ban mags.
It's a big giant middle finger to the dipshits in power in Colorado. It's perfect. Kudos Rich, Drake and all the other folks at Magpul.

You got it Shiv. Magpul gets full style points for this one. I think it's a perfect send off.
Oh, you don't like those scary 30 round mags? Try this on for size dickhead.

A kind of "Do you like apples? How about them APPLES?"
**** the assholes in power in CO (too many people from CA moved there, apparently) and good on Magpul for their principles and getting product to those who may not be able to purchase these soon.
I don't think they have said where they are considering moving to, a post here by one of their reps said they were looking at different locations and seeing what would work out best. I'm sure its complicated but bet that TX and other states are wooing them with relocation incentives / tax breaks / etc to get their business and jobs in the state...

I hope they keep an accounting of the total number of mags they sell in this blast, and I hope it's a HUGE number.
I also hope they stylize it even more with pictures of the mags staged for sale, etc.
Wouldn't it be awesome if it were 100,000, or more, 30rd mags in to the state??
Great to see the public( Magpul in this instance), sticking it to the politicians!!:D
This is a beautiful thing, I thought Magpul was great before, but now they really have my loyalty.
Its nice to have a company that clearly is on your side.
I do want a few Gen M3 mags for myself, but I will happily sit and wait while Magpul diverts their production for Colorado sales. I say flood the shit out of them, and let everyone in the state know you are doing it.
This is absolutely awesome. Already liked the company but if I can get something from them, I will. Definitely a customer/supporter for them for life now.

Hats off to magpul and to our brothers and sisters in CO. alot of us are in the same boat. Never know what our state politicians are going to leen, most likley towards federal money!!
But this legislation hasn't actually passed the senate and been signed by the governor yet has it? Or did I miss something. Either way, good on Magpul. I couldn't be more impressed with their actions. Facts are that this type of legislation will not have a good effect on society. This is just another example.
I am glad to see that Magpul is sticking it's thumb in Colorado's eye. More firearm and accessory manufacturers need to push back.
A friend of mine was looking into moving to Colorado in two years when he retires. He made a few trips out to Colorado to look at real estate and check out the political climate. Now I can see why he changed his mind.

Big thumbs up for them.
They should all be labeled Colorado Pre Ban courtesy of MagPul awesome job guys.
Agreed...I'll wait for any I have on order so Magpul can get some into the hands of those poor Colorado folks.
Additionally, with our new gun and business friendly governor Scott Walker, you (Magpul) would be welcome to relocate into the state of Wisconsin...just sayin!
And as has been said previously, Magpul customer for life! Companies do benefit when they do the right thing!

Concur. It is invigorating and just plain exciting to see people and corporations confidently standing up for their principles, even (and especially) when it includes up-ending their lives, pulling up the stakes and re-establishing their business and their families in another state.
The Patriots in our country have been pushing back for a few years, and I like it. I suspect we will need to keep doing it, and harder.
we hope.

The former CEO of my company used to always say that you don't have ethics until it costs you something. This is it, live in person. An entire company would rather spend millions to relocate rather than compromise their principles. If only this trait were more common. Especially in elected representation.

Yeah! Move to a Blue state! :jester:
We were unfortunately only a blue state in the presidential election. Our last election for Gov. kicked out a dem and elected a republican. The dems then tried to recall Walker last year and we again re-elected him. He also has a majority in the state house. It's just in the presidential election that not enough republicans got out to vote (kicking outselves).
Also, we finally passed concealed carry a year and a half ago.
AZ and Texas are the only logical options. And with the Steers and Queers, etc....

Magpul is a good company and made the right choice to offer mags to CO residents first. This is a class move by a good company.

This bill (HB 13-1224) has moved from House Committee (where is was amended from its orgional proposal of 10 round max for Rifle and Handgun and 5rounds shotgun to 15 rounds Rifle/Handgun and 8 rounds Shotgun) to the Colorado House were it passed. From here is goes to the Colorado Senate (week of March 4th) for consideration. If the Senate changes amendmens anything then those changes have to go back to the House for approvial. Ounce both Houses agree on the bill it goes to the Gov. Hickenlooper for his approvial or veto.
Reguardless of the title of this thread, as I understand it, Magpul is going to move only if this passes. We (the gun owners of Colorado, our Colorado Based gun groups, the NRA, and Magpul) are all working tirelessly to see that this will not happen.
I would hate to see Magpul leave, but our legeslators have placed the unacceptable burden on them. Orgionally the bill procluded all civy sales in or out of Colorado but that too was amended. As such Colorado does not deserve to have the tax revenue that this first class business brings to the state of residence.
It's damn nice to see that some companies aren't rolling over. They drew a line, CO crossed it, so they are proving they weren't bluffing and showboating just for style points. Bravo. With so many surplus USGI mags laying around I never really got into collecting Pmags, but now I think I might have to have a few.

Maybe the Oprah Winfrey forums would be more appropriate for someone of your level of sensitivity?? :confused:

He referenced a line from a popular Stanley Kubric film. Nobody was called a queer.
So, build a bridge, so you can get over yourself.
You get to Report the post...
...OR...
...risk getting hammered for trying to play forum vililante (particularly when you're in the wrong).
You don't get to do both. Next time, choose between the two, particularly in clear instances of a need for wad-resistant panties on your part.

We can also support the CO shooters by shipping them our "prebans" should the law pass and buying new production.
(I just want Magpul in AZ... not all the internet "drammmah") Golfing with Fitz... taking rides in his Ferarris and shit!... Flinging pmags at the little people with the covertable top down. Signing autographs... Strippers and coke... etc. Just the basic needs, boys.

I still dont understand how the state of CO can possibly confirm is a mag was bought before or after the ban goes into affect. Whats to stop someone from buying pmags out of state, and then bringing them to CO and saying they are preban/purchased by him before the ban? pmags are not dated. I understand how they could not be considered preban during the last ban because they weren't even manufactured before the first ban. but now?
Am I missing something?

This legislation cannot pass in CO! This could set precedent for other states and inspire the Statists that write federal legislation. Bombard CO legislators and Gov.

Hickenlooper has asperations higher than Colorado. From what we are hearing legislators are receiving calls directly from the White House. This seems to have embolden them to push on reguardless of the overwhelming support aginst it. I am not sure as to what they are all being promised. There is alot of money being spent from outside of Colorado to get this through. I suspect that it costing them alot more than they had planned.
All support is welcome and very much appreciated.
Not sure if Magpul would wait around for this....but has there been any talk of a peoples veto, or a citizens referendum if this legislation was to pass? With the overwhelming majority being against the legislation it seems this could be another avenue the people could use to have their views accurately represented in the state house.
Curious if Magpul would wait at all for their state gov't to get their act together. Seems far fetched if their legislators are being bought and sold by special interests. These tyrants are emboldened. Peaceful options are becoming slimmer and slimmer.

I hope things work out for you. You are fighting the typical Fed Gov response to a problem...... throw money at it. I'm from Delaware and our Governor is contemplating similar measures. I was hoping things would get better, or at least no worse here since Uncle Joe left town. No such luck.
I've been buying Magpul stuff for some time, but now they are my go-to for everything that they manufacture if I need it. Way to go, guys!
I wish they would flood New Yorkistan with their new 10 rd. PMags before NY UNSAFE Act bans us from buying mags. with a capacity of more then 7 rds. April 15th.

I thought there was no grandfathering for 10 round mags after April 15. It was "turn them in or we're coming to get them."
Good for Magpul and much respect
The rest of us will have forever to buy more Magpul mags later. The guys behind the lines in CO only have a small window.
I hope you are correct.

Too bad, also, that any future criminal acts by, uh, criminals, will continue to be blamed on the "weapons industry" for "flooding the market with cheap weapons and assault clipzz".
But all in all: **** yeah for Magpul and freedom-loving Colorado citizens
I don't think I would have titled it this way. Sounds like a headline from CNN, MSNBC or the Washington Post. But a plus all the way round. Get Beretta to that in Mary Land.

I don't see many people giving up their guns, magazines, or freedoms.

I don't need any more magazines, but after Magpul moves I will order 30 magazines just to stick my thumb in the eye of the Colorado legislature.
I'm stealing this plan.....hope you don't mind....
Hopefully Magpul will offer "rebuild kits" just like 44mag.com does. Anything to help those in occupied territory. :ph34r:

This is not conjecture but a statement from one of Magpul's own sales manager and thus far I have not seen any statement from Magpul denying this practice.
I am having second thoughts about their committment to 2A rights. I guess it all boils down to money.
Adding Richard Fitzpatrick's, founder and CEO of Magpul, response to this story for completeness sake
I am the founder and president of Magpul Industries. Since forming the company in 1999 we have always had the same policy supporting uniformed military and law enforcement.
It is impractical with our distribution network to impose any type of requirements for LEOs. For example we cannot even stop resellers like Cheaper than Dirt selling PMags for over 8x retail because they purchase through our distributors.
Even then imposing a blanket set of rules on individual officers based upon what the elected officials say and do is counter to our philosophy of individual responsibility not collectivism.
i hope for some of those mags to be up for reasonable prices
Please tell me, after reading the following link, if you guys still think Magpul is still the best thing out there since sliced bread.
If you don't like it, don't buy from them. FREE MARKET ECONOMY.
They are leaving CO and taking their tax money with them. Who cares if they still sell mags to LE in CO. Now the CO departments wont be using Magpul's own tax money to buy mags from them. The departments will have to send money out of their state to get the same product.
Every person with two balls and an AR should leave CO regardless of what Magpul does.
I only have a couple of Magpul products, no mags though. Now I can see just how messed up things can get when people lose sight of ethics, morals, and principles. Magpul IMHO is doing the right thing. Good job to the decision makers there.

I thought there was no grandfathering for 10 round mags after April 15. It was "turn them in or we're coming to get them."
There is no grandfathering in 30 rd. pre-ban mags. We can own all the 10 rd. mags. that we want as long as we buy them by April 15th. We can load 10 rds. at the range and such, only 7 rds. any other time. However, if you get caught with your 10 rd. mags. loaded to 10 rds. in your house it's only a violation. Get caught with any 30 rd. and I think it's a felony.
There is a court date set for April 29th. to see if the UNSAFE Act. will be changed.

I'm not sure where I stand on this but I don't see a differing point of view as deserving that kind of response.
As an LEO, life NRA member and proud gun owning American I'm happy that I can still purchase quality mags and such for my weapon.
I wish some off you idiots would stop lumping us all in with the antis.
We arrest real criminals out there also and would like to be as prepped as possible. I wont begrudge the manufacturers who have decided to stop selling to NY. I find their commitment brave, but to accuse Magpul of what that article is stating is just foolish and elitist of some of my fellow gun owners..

Absolutely I still think they are great. When rifle builders said they weren't going to sell to certain LEO agencies I thought it was a good way to voice their stance and put a hurdle between their products and agencies in ban states. But BCM not selling to NYC LEO doesn't mean NYC LEO cannot get a BCM rifle.
Magpul chose a more subtle but sharper method that was more personal to them. Cram as many mags as possible into the throat of CO before the turd legislation is crammed into the throat of CO.
About the only thing more Magpul could do is park trucks in front of the State Senate and pass out Pmags to anyone walking by.
Both BCM and Magpul have earned some of my dollars because they stood up and did something.

I don't understand the big deal. Just a few months ago, it was not just accepted, but viewed as widely appreciated that companies like Brownells or Larue offered mil/LEO discounts.
To me, the root cause of people complaining about this is "Waaaah, I don't have MY Pmags yet!"

I won't lump you in with the anti's, but I will lump you in with the elitists who get special privileges over their fellow citizens. Guess what. Some of us idiots are the intended targets of the same "real criminals" that you arrest.
To reiterate what's been said before: 1. YOUR life is NOT more important than mine or my family members. 2. The first responder at EVERY crime scene is the civilian victim, and he/she should have the same tools as LE to protect themselves. 3. When your "free pass" gets revoked and you have to run around town with 7 round AR mags, like the rest of NY, THEN you will get off your elitist ass and fight WITH the rest of us. I don't wish to oppose you. I wish to welcome you to MY boat.
On the original topic: I was already a supporter of Magpul. Their products are already on my guns and I'm a very satisfied customer. This act of defiance toward the CO government and in favor of CO citizens only endears them to me that much more. I too will be stocking up on Magpul product that I don't even need now.
I still dont understand how the state of CO can possibly confirm is a mag was bought before or after the ban goes into affect. Whats to stop someone from buying pmags out of state, and then bringing them to CO and saying they are preban/purchased by him before the ban? pmags are not dated. I understand how they could not be considered preban during the last ban because they weren't even manufactured before the first ban. but now?
Am I missing something?

You are wrong my CA friend, but in a good way.
There are actually around 4.4 million of us who voted AGAINST The Chosen One, last time around. The only state in the entire Union that had more people vote AGAINST the Kenyan was Texas, and only just barely. There are more anti-liberal voters in CA than ANY other state except Texas.

If everyone was in the same situation, where we were all limited to 10rd mags, or whatever, the tides of change would come quickly.
The slimy legislators know that as long as the police are not lumped in with the peasants, on mag and weapons restrictions, the police unions and chiefs will remain on their side, and actively pursue the passage of whatever contrived bullshit that they like. It will not affect the officers at all, except in their personal weapons collections.
In NY, they screwed the pooch, and did not exempt LE from the SAFE Act. When that was pointed out, it was corrected. Making, at a minimum, three classes of people. 1) Legislators 2) LE and 3) Other Citizens.
Some police officers are going to have some serious choices to make in the near future if some of this stuff gets passed. On which side of the fence will you stand on. A lot of military people are also having to make the same choice. I know many that are leaving the service(s) because they feel they can no longer wilfully obey the orders and policies of those appointed over them.

Frankly, I like the idea put forth here about handing them out on the steps of the capitol in CO. With the girls of course. :D
The question is, how long till they (and the other gun companies that have boycotted current bans) start feeling the blowback from a stunt like this?

Heard the VA Gov. on radio today. He is apparently courting these businesses to come to VA. The caller and he mentioned businesses leaving MD ( is Beretta in MD that name was mentioned ). He said he wished he could build a one way bridge from MD to VA. Then he said he was going to CA in April to talk to some business but I missed the name .. and he went off of guns to basically any businesses. even mentioned some golfer's name. I wish all the firearms related manufacturers would set up shop in VA. We get blamed for all the illegal guns found in other states anyway.

See my earlier post on ethics. You don't have it till it costs you something. BCM walked away from a contract worth maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars because the Milwaukee chief crossed a line in their mind. Magpul is doing the same thing, willing to move out of CO rather than compromise their principles. I'm sure neither company made this decision lightly or on a whim. They knew what they were doing. They knew they were walking away from police agency dollars and they also know some people, as an individual, won't buy from them anymore. It's a pain they are willing to absorb.
These incredibly strict laws for us mere common folk are going to do exactly jack to the criminal and BCM and us, know it. And until state and local government and agencies feel the heat from their decisions, right or wrong, what's going to make them think before they act?

I saw it and agree 100%. There will be some sting for them. If we use our power as buyers to mitigate it some, that will encourage other vendors to follow suit. The more of us that stand up and throw down the gloves, both vendors and us lowly public, the more effective we will be at stemming legislation designed to consume our rights.

I will say this, I just left a regional Chiefs of Police meeting where a large percentage of the chiefs in a 4 county area were in attendance. I was there to present a program and answer questions before a public rollout. One chief that's been on the news recently over a gun legislation issue, and is on a statewide committee to examine the issues before the Lt. Governor shells out legislative bills to be heard on the state house floor was there. I can tell you he was not nearly as anti-gun on the issue in this meeting as his political "handler" has him portrayed in the media. He had his own concerns, but was nowhere near as absolute in opposition amongst fellow CLEO's in a private setting. I was able to get with him offline and provide some information that might help steer the committee in the right direction.
I can only imagine that having his officers in near universal suppport of equal rights and responsibilities for citizens would help him when dealing with the politicos. Just some food for thought.
if you're in the game, do what you can profesionally, politically, and personally to effect a positive outcome. No one can ask more of you than that, and you'll know that any negativity over the issue towards the uniform you wear, doesn't apply to you personally. I know it certainly doesn't apply to me! :)

I applaud Magpul for sticking to their guns (pun intended) and planning to take away revenue from these dirtbags. I do think that what these lower than excrement polititians are trying to do is divide us. I don't think the issue among us here on M4Carbine of selling to LE is about dividing us. It more about bringing us together. Every one of these douche-bag press events that these ridiculous polititians are signing ignorant bills into law have one thing in common. Directly behind them (I do mean standing next to and around) are police commissioners, chiefs of police and generally lots of LE types. They are smiling, laughing, and giving each other high fives. I know I'm not alone, seeing this pisses me off to no end.
I'm sorry, but the general feeling is that we "civilians" are being treated unequally. If you have to deal with some worthless nothing like the guy who shot and killed my brother and you are as equally armed as us "civilians" the commissioners and chiefs would find out fast what shit rolling uphill feels like. I bet they wouldn't be laughing then.
Us regular "civilians" rightly feel slighted. We get penalized for others heinous acts. Then we are told we can't be trusted with a magazine that holds more than 7 or 10 rounds. All the while the upper management of city or state LE smiles in our faces while they back up bills that will disarm only the law abiding. It isn't about the money for sure, it's about the principal.
I have some gen3 PMAG's that are back ordered and I'm waiting for them to arrive. I'll gladly wait a bit longer for them to arrive while MagPul takes care of those in Colorado.

I'd be fine if DSG could divert my order North.
thank you magpul got myself registered and emailed 2 diffrent match directors with info to pass to their mailing list. maybe somebody should start selling mags at all the firework stands that are 200 yds across the state line. something for people bagging on colorado to remeber that 88% of the population lives between ft.collins and pueblo on the I-25 corridor ,which means that the 12 % get ****ed by the city trolls. so got to love liberals, guns bad take away, pot good because we can pretend that we'll make money off the taxes. :suicide2:
just sent an email to be in the group, are we supposed to get a conformation right after or will we just get an email when were in the group?
Now if only there was any way Magpul could take me with them in their bags if they have to move :sad:
Confirmation is a manual process, unfortunately, so it may take a bit. We've been hard at it sending out the confirmations, and we'll see about putting more manpower on it this am. As soon as the "welcome to the CO residents purchase group"
confirmation comes back, you are GTG with the order.
Some people are butthurt over this, but here's why I think it's absolutely perfect if they are forced to leave:
The legislature of Colorado could have listened to Magpul, and their other constituents and chosen not to act on a mag capacity ban, and other gun control measures. The legislators said, "**** you." to Magpul, and the other voters of CO.
So now, Magpul is going to pull their revenues, taxes, and business from CO, and as a final return "**** You." they are going to defy the spirit of the new law(s) by flooding the Colorado market with standard capacity, pre-ban mags.
It's a big giant middle finger to the dipshits in power in Colorado. It's perfect. Kudos Rich, Drake and all the other folks at Magpul.
Amen! Cheers, Magpul.

Back in 1990, when I was deployed in Desert Shield and Desert Storm as a Marine grunt, some companies prioritized me items for my M16 for shipping that I purchased with my own funds. After getting out and forming Magpul in 1999, I established the same priority policy for Military and Law Enforcement, due to the requirements of their profession.
The same policy has been in place for 13 years now and has never been an issue until a few days ago. I do not support the idea that individual police officers should be punished for the actions of their elected officials. That said, I understand the concerns that some have with Law Enforcement officers getting special treatment while at the same time denouncing second amendment rights to another citizen in the same state.
With the fight in Colorado right now we do not have time to implement a new program, so I have suspended all LE sales to ban states until we can implement a system wherein any Law Enforcement Officer buying for duty use will have to promise to uphold their oath to the US Constitution - specifically the second and fourteenth amendments - as it applies to all citizens.

Was all behind Magpul until I read their position on the NY Boycott. Now I don't care if they go, stay, or close shop.
Might want to read the post right below yours.

Im so ****ing disgusted with my state. Ive written letters, emailed, called, joined the NRA, told everyone I know about the evils of these bills, and yet THEY WILL STILL PASS. What the ****!?
I joined Magpul's Boulder Airdrop, my wife did too. We're prepared to buy our last 20 or so magazines for our AR15. Never thought I would be saying this. I dont have near enough Glock magazines.
I have 3 G17, 3 G19, and 2 G26. I wish I could find some damn 9mm glock magazines that werent overpriced and insane. I'll end up having plenty of AR mags, but I go into this insanity with no ****ing pistol mags, shouldve prepared better I guess.

Maybe you can buy some post ban G17 mags if you *promise* not to load more than 10 rounds in them.
God Bless Magpul and God Save Colorado.

Thank you Magpul! Order placed.
As soon as I get them, I will fill them with concrete and dump them in the lake. Cant have any of these damn assault clips getting loaded with assault hollow point cop killing bullets and used in a military style assault weapon designed to kill lots of people.
I'll be happy when Magpul announces where they're moving to, so everyone can stop the 'You should move to ___________ <- insert your state here brown-nosing.
Good on Magpul for putting their money where their mouth is.

So it is like "here are your mags...enjoy them...you won't be getting anymore or rifles to put them in." BTW, we might be leaving the state, too.
Anyone else still find this unsettling?
So you got your mags before everyone else...but lost your freedoms.
Not a good trade.

It is just a sad situation that is all.
I bet it is one they never saw coming in a state like that. Scary.
BTW, when do they do the final vote in CO to make this all official? Doesn't it still have to pass the CO state Senate? If so....what are the chances if it passing?
Sorry...down here we don't get the details and I really don't know the make-up of the CO Senate. Hard enough keeping up with our own TX congress.
If the CO Senate shoots it down...is it dead for good?

It's not a trade. A trade requires consent of both parties. We have no voice in the ongoing assault on the 2A here in CO. Magpul is helping out CO resident while giving a big F you to the progressive legislature.
I'm standing with Magpul in all of tis.

So its over?
I thought the CO state Senate still had to pass it.
If it fails there...is that it or can it still be enacted?

Second reading, debate, and voice vote Friday. Third reading and the counted vote that matters on Monday. If we get one more vote, it's dead, until next session, anyway.

Thats exactly what Im doing! Partying and celebrating that I got my last shipment of 10 mags, woo-****ing-hoo! :rolleyes:
Im pleased to see that Magpul is helping out those of us that now find ourselves deep behind enemy lines one last time. We didnt ask for this....
We didnt ask for this....
You may not have asked for it personally....but every conservative that stayed home on election day did! :suicide2:
It's seems fairly clear to me why Marxist revolutions throughout history have ended with free thinking citizens, politicians and 'elites' at the wrong end of a gun.

Or every conservative that wrote in Rand Paul for president instead of voting for Romney.

Are you not aware of the actual election numbers or something?

Which state would have gone Romney if all of the votes for Rand Paul went to Romney? Even better, which state would have gone Romney if ALL of the 3rd party votes went to Romney?
Romney lost this election because voters stayed home. Turnout was significantly lower than 2008 for both candidates, and the election came down to who had the least voters stay home.

He can't answer that because he was not speaking knowledgeably.

Including or excluding the cemetery votes?
Thanks Magpul! Ordered my fifteen 5.56 and ten .308 mags. Probably just in the nick of time, too if the floor vote today on background checks is predictive of the rest of the bills' outcomes.

I thought the limit was 10 mags?

Three different versions and you could order 5 of each.
