CO Bill to ban Semi rifles and shotguns moves to senate floor.
I think the CPW is only on the hook (with our Pittman Robertson bucks) to teach a regular hunter safety course for a small stipend by volunteers and they have the opportunity to enthuse some new hunters. The extra course is taught privately by any org or person authorized by the sheriff. I was...- one ate E grain

No detachable magazines on automatics....Here we go again...
I had to take a class and register with the sheriff to get my CC license. Not much difference that I can see. Hunter safety is a very good basic gun safety course, and if some people have an IQ too low to pass the test or if they aren't comfortable going to the sheriff for a background check...- one ate E grain

E-bike Access?
I don't care either way. Mountain bikes are the scourge, if mountain bikes can go I'm ok if people e bike, dirt bike, ATV, whatever they want. I spend most of my time off trail to get away from the "recreationists" anyway. Most people can't even walk around in the woods without getting lost...- one ate E grain

2 new appointees
In reading the article this part stood out. emphasize the importance of equity and access Here I thought "equity" had faded from popular usage ever since we learned that it means equal outcomes, like you got a seven point elk so I who have never gotten one should have first dibs on a choice...- one ate E grain

How to Red Rocks Concert
Don't climb up on the rocks. They are low angle and enticing. People used to get hurt.- one ate E grain

Colorado gun ban
The legislative session ends next Wednesday, so they have 10 days left. I'm hoping it dies in the senate. The senate is the place where things traditionally die in Colorado. Some Dems voted with the Rs on the house side, have to wait and see how it goes in the senate.- one ate E grain

Boulder Hunting Ban
Bowhunting too. It's not the safety aspect, it's just that they don't like hunting. I hunt private land that is surrounded by a lot more houses than are up on Sugarloaf. If one is thoughtful about where the bullet is going after it double lungs it's not rocket science. Face it. Many people in...- one ate E grain

Fixing social security
Forgive me for not reading all 747 posts that preceded my comment. It's tax time. I give all my stuff to the CPA way early. I have a business and investments. Might be typical here. I also read over the tax forms my CPA prepares, figuring the more I understand the more able I am to ask...- one ate E grain

Recreation without Consequences?
Whenever I read these things it always seems to come down to not sharing the resource, keeping the riff raff out. I've heard of ATVs scaring off elk less than hikers. ATVs can be located via sound every moment they are out there, no surprises, a quiet hiker is indistinguishable from the most...- one ate E grain

Couldnt roll my eyes any harder
I don't think it will go anywhere. The commissioners, which include many bunny hugging anti hunting types, passed the rule in August. Currently all users have to follow the same rules as hunters. Many SWA have very specific rules to make the areas into ideal habitat, other SWAs allow camping...- one ate E grain

Section of BLM camping restricted?
Frankly the commercialisation of wildlife leaves a bad taste in my mouth. When I'm king I'll make the outfitters go back to cowboying.- one ate E grain

County encourages ATV civil disobedience (long c&p)
Good read. I started out kind of leaning one way and ended up leaning the other way. Sometimes endangered species are actually plentiful, just no one looks for them. I do know that in the desert every footprint stays there a long long time. Trucks, ATVs, dirt and Mtn bikes can lay down a lot of...- one ate E grain

E-bike Access?
Thanks, that's my model. I seldom go at 20 anyway, bike paths, it would be nice though when I'm forced to go on roads. Mtn biking paths I'm often hardly moving as they put them over all kinds of dips and bumps. I'm intent on using it on all those 4wd roads that I never want to take my truck on...- one ate E grain

E-bike Access?
My state in trying to promote e bike use offered an eleven hundred dollar instant rebate at the point of purchase. You had to apply, there were income guidelines of 80% of median by county but when you live amongst billionaires it's easy, also there was a lottery. Largest company in the US had...- one ate E grain

State Land Board Outdoor Recreation Business Plan
I've never to my knowledge been on State Trust Lands. I see them on maps of those units out in the NW corner of the state but have never been to them. Do they lease them out to outfitters? Seems to me that opening them up to all would be a good thing. Are they mostly for bird hunting in the east?- one ate E grain
