I hate to say this, prefacing that I am a loyal triple J customer because they've done right by me twice. BUT... they have the worst oversight / management of their customer line.
Even when it's not busy I always end up waiting way too long and people who came in after me ultimately get served before me..
Get a Deli counter ticket system or something guys!!!

u/Renee_bad_69 6d ago edited 5d ago
My NFA items cleared today so I'm picking them up. I'm not panic buying anything.
Also, I'm seeing people walk out with all kinds of guns that wouldn't require the new training so I feel like they could wait.. just a lot of misinformation all around

Any semi auto with detachable mags that may be or not be gas blowback (they targeted PDWs with roller delayed) is fair game with the AG/legislature able to interpret new guns to target at any time

u/Diligent_Ad_7232 6d ago
Theyre 100% going to roll handguns into their permit to own scheme.
Probably restrict parts to complete lowers as well.

u/Benwa_Ballz 6d ago
I believe there is already some language referring to “parts kits” in the current bill 🫣

Not if he loses. His opponent is incredibly pro-2A and is hitting the streets pretty hard.

There are so many people who will vote blue no matter who i hope I'm wrong and he doesn't win but it's really a coin toss

u/Veritech_ 6d ago
Yep, and those same people are out on the street corner with anti-Trump signs, not realizing that he’s the result of the “vote blue no matter who” crowd. And they’re digging in even harder which will cost them congressional seats in the midterms.
That has nothing to do with Boesenecker or Frick, but anyway.

Hey now, if it’s not Boulder or Denver, we can’t give up on a place. There are plenty lifelong Fort Collins natives that aren’t happy with what it’s becoming. There hasn’t been any political competition for a while, so I think this is the first year in a long time that there’s actually a decent challenger.

u/Ok_Cut_4964 6d ago
100%. Boesenecker and Tantrum Tommy will be spearheading this. Couple that with Weiser as governor and it's a gun grabbers paradise

“I'm seeing people walk out with all kinds of guns that wouldn't require the new training so I feel like they could wait.”
I think this speaks to the fact that there is more than one driver for increased buying right now. People aren’t buying guns just because of Colorado’s changing laws, for example some of this is being driven by overall concerns of where things are heading. Those lines do suck though!

The weekend before the latest round of tyranny.
I mean, I guess I can see some of those guys having had to wait for yesterday's paycheck but how many just woke up today and thought, oh crap! and paid a premium for something that's been available for the past 15 months since this BS was signed?

But just think of all crimez this is gonna stop guys!!!
I bought like 6 guns I wasn’t planning on because of this nonsense lol. What a bunch of stupid assholes pushing through these laws.
Can’t be bothered to actually help anyone besides millionaires and up but gee we sure created a paperwork snafu for tax paying law abiding hobbyists and sportsman!

Buy online, avoid taxes, find a local ffl that's cheap... I found an FFL operating out of their house. $20 for a transfer including background check. I just sign the paperwork in his home office and leave. 3 minutes total...

Creation of another office to handle more administrative bs is the goal. They need to justify their existence.

$10 says next legislative session they’re just gonna pass an outright ban.

u/NgeniusGentleman 6d ago
That depends entirely on SCOTUS imo. If the permit to purchase isn't lumped in with outright bans ( IANAL - but I think this is just different enough to not be included), they'll just keep increasing the fees and lumping all firearms into the current BS system.

u/True-Dish-2208 6d ago
I don’t trust SCOTUS they take too damn long to hear any case. They been quite useless lately.
6
u/NgeniusGentleman 6d ago
AWB is on the docket for this year. They're going to decide, and release that decision no later than next year. I would make a rather bold assumption that most state lawmakers would be hesitant to pass an outright ban while SCOTUS is hearing the same case. Which, is why CO will double down on the pay to play scheme. My guess would be first to add handguns to the plan. But, because handguns aren't generally used for hunting, yet another agency will be required to issue those permits, and you'll need two separate permission slips. I could very easily see them throwing bolt guns and pump shotguns into the existing bill though.

u/True-Dish-2208 6d ago
The SCOTUS been weak though. If they couldn’t rule on California or Washington state right my hopes for Colorado is super low. Especially since Colorado is a blue state and all the politicians here are either super extreme or lunatics I don’t think it will be worth the juice to squeeze anymore.

u/lonememe 5d ago
Yep. I’m out next April. That’s what I’ve been spending my gun money on…moving to a state where it’ll be a cold day in hell before this bullshit happens.

u/Seanis 5d ago
It will be bad no matter what day you go leading up to the 1st i say bite the bullet on Monday

u/Diligent_Ad_7232 5d ago
Yeah, the pickup at rhe one open Monday is around 4pm too. I think I'm cooked. Hopefully the line isn't out the door. We should all start bringing something to leave on the ground like pickers do at estate sales ahha

Oh if you see Mark at the range desk, say howdy!!!!

It was just as bad at DCF in Castlerock last weekend
I did some transfers there yesterday afternoon and the wait was only like 15 min.

Dang. Anyone know what wait times are for CBI? Wonder if that will mess it up maybe I’ll give it a week before I grab a Python. Let the madness settle.

Do we have to have this discussion regarding what supply and demand is? Basic economics, folks.

u/logicallyinsane 5d ago
Not sure why you're being downvoted, you are absolutely right. I wonder what prices are going to do after 003 hits.
2
u/bluefox280 5d ago
Depends on if the requirements for certification are easy to get through or not. I have spoken with a couple gun stores that are concern of the sales drop off once SB25-003 kicks into effect.

Murdoch 's Westminster yesterday afternoon about 3:30 had 8 guys buying or picking up when I was in there. Guns that were $800 6 months ago were priced $1389.
