Jared Polis this year. Lawmakers also passed a bill expanding the state’s red-flag law, which has already taken effect, plus a fourth measure that generally will require a person to be 21 or older to buy a gun. A federal judge has temporarily blocked that minimum age law amid an ongoing legal challenge.A fifth bill that regulates so-called “ghost guns” also was passed and signed into law this spring, though some provisions won’t take effect until Jan. 1.Like the minimum age measure, the waiting period law — which requires that at least three days pass between when someone purchases a firearm and when they take possession ...

The University of Southern California graduate worked in tech but was always a “backyard farmer.” Now he’s gone pro and runs the farm, which takes up about half the building at 2401 Larimer St.“I’ve alw...
