Magpul to sell direct to Colorado residents 10 30 round mags !

I didn't even realize Magpul was based in Colorado until recent events. I prefer this whole Colorado magazine restriction thingie dies on the vine (I have written our state legislators), but have been quietly preparing for the worst if it passes.

Economically, our state does not need Magpul nor its direct suppliers to move. I'm very familiar with one of the their molding suppliers (Alfred), as my prior company relied heavily on Alfred's capabilities for our manufacturing processes. I suspect that when our plant relocated overseas a few years ago, Alfred scrambled for business -- I'm pleased to see they picked up Magpul.

I completely understand Magpul's stand on Colorado HB 1224, which (if passed) limits mag capacity to 15 rounds. If I were the Grand Poobah of Magpul, I'd likely consider the same actions of telling Colorado to stick their Erie/Boulder operations where the sun don't shine.

I may let the mad scramble die down, but will likely take Magpul up on their offer to ship a few mags to us Colorado residents. Or maybe not. Regardless of my decision, I give kudos to Magpul, their employees, and their direct suppliers for standing on principles. That's something that too few people and organizations do these days.
