Unfortunately the onus of proof may be on the owner of the magazine. But if they had a pre-ban receipt for the purchase of some large quantity of magazines...

I for one would be okay if Magpul diverted like 50% of their magazine shipments to the state of Colorado for the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, Wyoming's legislation is going in an opposite direction than Colorado's on guns. Come on up, Magpul. We are the most business friendly state in the union and right up the road.
Where is the date code on a MagPul mag anyway?
Magpul could simply do a run with no code now....and do a sterile run a year from now somewhere else after they move....no law broken as Colorado cannot demand they marks mags made in another state a certain way. There is nothing outside of their jurisdiction that can compel them to make the Colorado Prosecutors job easy.
Short of somebody running their blab, it would be virtually impossible to prosecute somebody in such possession.
I would not be suprised if they have not already made sterile mags for some of the three-letter boys.
I am keeping up and am a little bit ahead if I do say so. I read the last page and I figured it out about 5 seconds after I finished reading the actual text of the Colorado Bill a couple days ago.
Speaking as somebody who is a special kind of LE, I am used to dealing with Law. I can tell you, reading that bill, it will be a nightmare for the state to sucessfully prosecute. Short of somebody blabbing or catching somebody smuggling a truckload across the state lines, it will be almost impossible.
All they have accomplished is drive almost a thousand direct and a couple thousand indirect jobs out of Colorado.
The problem is that it makes the ' prosecution' prove it. That means that you have already had the mags taken from you and you have been charged. Get a lawyer and get your mags back or give us the mags and we'll drop the charges. Beating the rap is the easy part, beating the ride is the hard part.
I don't know the specific CRSs, but for this level of misdemeanor in CO, would you get a ticket or would you get cuffed and stuffed?
I am sure that Denver will confiscate all 15+ mags and make you work to get them back.
What I'm really concerned about is if you are found even with what eventually turns out to be a legit mag, in the mean time are they going to use to use the fact that you have a suspect mag to get a search warrant for your house, car etc....
In the end, like most laws written by morons (Shields is a complete idiot) about things they don't understand, the law really will just make people go to WY or NM to pick up non or predate mags.
Thinking of a funny skit where a cop pulls someone over and notices a 30 round mag. The cop goes apeshit till the driver tells him to chill, that just what he uses to hold his weed.
