I had no luck with the search function but that could be because I'm not using the right terms. I'm hoping y'all can give me some guidance. I ran across an article in the DP (https://www.denverpost.com/2013/03/15/background-checks-for-gun-purchases-in-colorado-moves-to-hickenloopers-desk/) that included this:
Senate Democrats amended the House version of the bill to exempt immediate family from undergoing background checks in a gun transfer. The bill also allows an individual to loan a gun for up to 72 hours without a background check — as long as no one legally barred from owning a gun is involved.

Does the Colorado BC law adhere to this? There's no problem with the family member passing a BC, but I don't want to spend the money or the time if I don't have to. Which brings up a second question: Can anyone recommend an FFL in the Ft Collins/Loveland/Greeley area to do the BC, preferably on the cheap if it's needed?

Do what you feel is right. The average BGC with fees etc is up to $30-45 around the windsor area. Liberty USA in the fort is doing them for a few dollars less than windsor armory. But does anyone really want to drive in to ft fun? Best to call around for pricing. I know the LUSA is no longer doing them on weekends.

Per the CRS, the UBC law does not apply to a transfer that is a bona fide gift or loan between immediate family members, which are limited to spouses, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, first cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Also does not apply to anything C&R, which means anything on the list and anything in its original configuration which is 50 or more years old...

I believe, "as long as they're are not a prohibited person," is in there. Which the OP did mention would not be an issue

But only if the qualified relative lives in Colorado too, correct?
