SALINA (AP) — A man is planning to offer rides from Salina to Denver for people who want to buy legal marijuana.

Bart Allen says he hopes to drive a 12-passenger Mercedes van for Saturday overnight trips to Denver, beginning this weekend. He says his target customers will be people 45 or older who want to learn whether the drug could help them ease medical conditions.

The Salina Journal reported Allen said his passengers will tour at least one marijuana dispensary and grow site, and then enjoy a night out in Denver before returning on Sunday.

Allen said he thinks the $420 cost of the trip will deter recreational pot users from reserving a seat on his van.

Gun company makes good on promise to abandon Colo.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — One of the country’s largest producers of gun magazines is leaving Colorado and moving operations to Wyoming and Texas because of new gun laws.

Erie, Colo.-based Magpul Industries announced Thursday that it was moving its production, distribution and shipping operations to Cheyenne and its headquarters to Texas, making good on a vow it made to leave Colorado during last year’s heated gun control debate.

The company says its corporate headquarters will likely be in north-central Texas but an exact location hasn’t been determined yet.

The Democratic-led Colorado Legislature and Gov. John Hickenlooper last year enacted a new law prohibiting the sale of gun magazines with more than 15 rounds. That and other new gun restrictions also led to the recall ouster of two Democratic state senators.
