Upcoming Gun Buybacks?

[bryjcom]

I have a couple of inoperable single shot shot guns that will probably never be operable again.

Would love to get above market value for them.

Anyone know of any coming up?

[glock74]

I haven't heard of any in years.

I did read that Baltimore was offering $500 hard cash for fully automatic firearms. Sounds like a real bargain if you ask me. ; )

I also read that they're offering $25 per high capacity magazine. But to Baltimore residents only. That would be great to go trade in some Tapcos.

Have a friend that lives there. He's been turning in old, rusty AK mags that he bought years ago for $6 for the $25. There is a per day limit so he's just been going every day. I guess someone turned in a demilled AT4 launcher for the $500. I mentioned to him the I've heard of guys throwing together a "shotgun" out of some scrap pipe, wood, and a nail or something for a firing pin and getting paid. He said he saw that happening.

Every gun buy back should be bombarded with homemade guns, every time. Give politicians a crash course on the Cobra effect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect

Who wants to road trip with me to offer $505 cash in the parking lot?

I heard about that one in Baltimore... That's why I posted this.

Seems the last buyback was in Boulder in '13 and that was cancelled.

I'll keep on the look out for one. I have some real junkers that ain't worth squat.

[MarkCO]

I bet we get one in CO in the near future.

[SouthPaw]

How bad are they? I have always wanted some wall hangers for the gun room.

What FFL is going to risk his livelihood by participating?

What FFL is going to risk his livelihood by participating?

The same ones (MEL) who don't think people need certain weapons or acc, like bumpstocks.

[Irving]

Why would it have to be run at an FFL?

[kidicarus13]

Why would it have to be run at an FFL?Firearm background check law requirement upon transfer? Besides FFL's, who else can run background checks?

[Irving]

Is the state required to pass a background check in order to take a gun?

Good question. IANAL, but here's how the law currently reads:

"Unless a specified exception applies, before any person who is not a licensed gun dealer transfers or attempts to transfer possession of a firearm, he or she shall:

Require that a background check be conducted of the prospective transferee; and Obtain approval of the transfer from the Colorado bureau of investigation (bureau) after a background check has been requested by a licensed gun dealer."

[Irving]

I remember when the law changed that it made an additional headache for getting guns back from the police because now people had to pass a background check again. The police aren't going to simply stop taking people's guns from crime scenes or DUIs just because of that law change though.

[Irving]

Maybe you can get in on this one.

There was an incident that made the news a few years back. Lady got into an accident...EMT found the lady had a ccw and turned the pistol over to an officer. After the lady got out of the hospital the police stated they didn?t have the ability to run the background check to return the firearm. She had to get a lawyer and threaten legal action. The police then agreed to meet her at an ffl to get the background check done.

Technically the police were in violation of the law as they hadn?t had a background check done to take possession to begin with.

^ dept or agency definitely should pay for a transfer fee.

Damn.... wish I was close by

Yes, thats why the one that was planned in Boulder after the new background check law was passed years ago was cancelled. The local Boulder Police said that without involving an FFL the transfer would be illegal.
