View Full Version : Borrow a blaster question
So, not sure with the wonderful CO laws, is it legal to borrow a hunting rifle for just that purpose and NOT for permanent transfer/sale? I am possibly looking into going antelope/elk hunting next year and I have a good friend who can loan me a rifle for the hunt, but we aren't sure that is considered legal under our new laws. Any insight on that is greatly appreciated.
These transfer provisions do not apply to, inter alia:
A bona fide gift or loan between immediate family members;
A transfer that occurs by operation of law or because of the death of a person for whom the prospective transferor is an executor or administrator of an estate or a trustee of a trust created in a will;
A transfer that is temporary and occurs while in the home of the unlicensed transferee if:
The unlicensed transferee is not prohibited from possessing firearms; and
The unlicensed transferee reasonably believes that possession of the firearm is necessary to prevent imminent death or serious bodily injury to the unlicensed transferee;
A temporary transfer of possession without power of ownership or a title to ownership, which takes place:
At a shooting range located in or on premises owned by a duly incorporated organization organized for conservation purposes or to foster proficiency in firearms;
At a target firearm shooting competition under the auspices of, or approved by, a state agency or a nonprofit organization; or
While hunting, fishing, target shooting, or trapping if:
Legal in all places where the unlicensed transferee possesses the firearm; and
The unlicensed transferee holds any license or permit that is required for such activity;
A transfer of a firearm that is made to facilitate the repair or maintenance of the firearm, except that all parties who possess the firearm as part of such transaction must be able to legally possess a firearm;
Any temporary transfer that occurs while in the continuous presence of the owner of the firearm;
A temporary transfer for not more than 72 hours. A person who makes such a temporary transfer may be jointly and severally liable for damages proximately caused by the transferee’s subsequent unlawful use of the firearm; or
A member of the armed services who will be deployed outside of the U.S. in the next 30 days, to any immediate family member.7
