Gun sellers see restrictive gun bill as burdensome barrier to buyers, fear severe reduction in sales. — See Page 2 Jerry’s Outdoor Sports store manager Chris Walker holds a Tikka T3x Roughtech 6.5 Creedmoor rifle. He said it’s a popular seller at Jerry’s Outdoor Sports, 2999 North Ave., and it’s also one the store would be banned from selling unless the buyer meets the requirements in a bill that passed in the Colorado Senate last week and advanced to the Colorado House. Walker said the reason the rifle is on the prohibited list is because it has a threaded barrel and a removable magazine. Photo by Tim Harty.
