Hunters begining Boycott of Colorado in response to new Firearms Law

[ShadeWPI]

The State of Colorado recieves more than 30 million dollars per year in non-resident hunting licensing fees, which start at $351 plus a $3 processing fee - but Guides and Outfitters who organize hunts for non-residents are starting to see cancellations. - And that $30 million is JUST licensing fees - it doesn't include tax revenue on food, meals, hotels and other expenses paid by hunters during the trips, just the non-resident licensing fees paid by 86,000 no resident hunters.

I will not return there!

Good. $30M is a newsworthy number. My guess is they'll just increase the In-State license fee and make hunters "pay their fair share".

 

[soloman02]

Good.

 

[dhawk69]

I feel for the guides and anyone in the firearm/hunting business out there..., I hope this gets straightened out so they don't end up permanently like Mass.

A company I do business with just moved to Colorado from Texas about 18 months ago.
I'm going to pull my business from them.

 

[TOY539]

Good for them. Hit them in the pocket.

 

[dwarven1]

Good. Stupidity should be painful.

I know that I cancelled plans for a guided bear hunt in NY this year because of their stupid new law.

 

[garandman]

Hmm, lets throw in ski trips as well! Utah is nice, I hear.

why in the world would you do that. unless you have not told us something else, like the owner is a rabid anti, you are going to pull your business because the company moved to a state 18 months ago when that state was very pro gun, and now because the legislature passed more restrictive laws, it is the owner of that company's fault, and you are going to punish him?!

Your profile doesn't say if you are from MA, but if you are, so if somebody pulls business from you from out of state because you are here, that is good?

It's your choice of course, just doesn't make sense to me at all.

i'm afraid it's a little too late for that. only down-hill from there most likely.
if that packages has passed with so little opposition from other side of the isle it means that libtards took a permanent hold there and once they do they're like bed-bugs - you'll never get rid of them.
I hope i'm wrong. My wife an I considered CO as one of the places to move to. i guess one down three to go.

[Bfatz]

Nice!....

Yep. Even your mAss LTC allows you to carry there, plus the splendid ski resorts.

I love the law of unintended consequences...

There is always the hope that the next election will see some corrections. Never give up.

 

[schnips]

But I thought hunters didn't care about high capacity banana clips and supported this legislation?

 

[houdini]

that is good

That's exactly what I said in my note to the governor. No skiing or hunting.

 

[Serapis]

I got a feeling these Pols are screwed for the next election. I CANNOT WAIT to see the backlash

 

[slugworth]

Good news!!!!

 

[Spanz]

Dude, lets not get personal! How I clip my banana is my business.


A tough decision for me. I have relatives out there that have hunting land, and permission by their neighbors to hunt also. Not much public land out there, you need the landowner's permission. On the other hand, I hate to feed to monster!

I would not bet on it. Libtards live in the couple big cities. probably 90% of the people outside of the cities are very pro gun! Unfortunately, numbers wise, the few big cities win the population contest.

The entire county that I hunted in last year had 6,500 people in it!

No high cap mags but feel free to smoke as much pot as you want.... I will never enter that F'ing state again.....

To the guy saying he is going stop doing business with his client there: Why stop doing business? Just up charge them a stupidity fee

I think that the hunters are figuring out that they're going to be next.

The Irony of the Liberal Left:

Ban Tabbacco, but legalize marijuana
Stop legalization of Assisted Suicide, but prevent any restrictions to abortion
Limit legal gun ownership, but eliminate minimum sentencings / expand early & work release programs
Demand "equality" while providing expanded "special intrest" benefits

 

[Buggin]

I just read another article that with hotels, licenses, gas, food ect. The numbers more like 1.2 billion in lost revenue.
Wadda ya know, there is a price on stupidity.....
