Does anyone know, can I bring my magazines that are more than 15 rounds into Colorado legally? I saw something that said they couldn’t be sold, but I’m not planning to sell them, just use them. Tia
 
For anyone else that might need this info.
https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cbi/firearmstatutes
18.12.302 Is the relevant statute.
I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on Youtube/Netflix/Insert Streaming Service here.

Thank you—this is what I was looking for
 
Fyi, most sheriff departments or pds will try to help you with information if you call and ask.

I have called neighboring states state patrol offices for input when my wife would be driving through without me.

The information is freely given and can keep you out of trouble
 
As far as colorado it would appear the way it is written sections 2(1), 2(v) would likely apply in court. It may not prevent arrest however. Again i would seek input from leo offices before traveling
