This past Thursday court ruling on firearms transfers in Colorado..

[def90]

Haven't heard anything on this but I guess a court in Colorado has decided that simply handing a firearm to someone may be considered a transfer? Is this an issue or is this commentators view overblown?

They can have my forearms when they rip them from my cold dead body.

Edit- looks like someone was kind enough to correct the typo in the title. Thanks.

#1) The guy doesn't link to the case
#2) In the few quotes he did use, it relates to a woman purchasing a gun while living with a convicted felon, and arguing that it wasn't a straw purchase because it was "shared use". (See 3 minute mark).

Uh, this isn't a new legal precedent guys, this is a youtuber that is click baiting to drive revenue. It's always been constructive possession vs possession, and felons cannot have constructive possession. The way I've explained this to people in the past, is driving a car = possession. Having a key to the car but being a mile away = constructive possession. If a felon lives in the house and there are unsecured firearms, it is a violation. If there are firearms in a safe they potentially know the combination to, it's a violation. It's always been that way.

Only a youtuber would think an appeals court ruling against a moron who claims she can "share access" with a felon is new law.

I should update the "always been that way bit" to add that some felons in Colorado can now legally possess firearms, while some misdemeanors cannot, with the recent legislative changes.

To give you an example, a person convicted of felony animal cruelty can technically possess a firearm under CO law right now (not federal), while a person convicted of misdemeanor animal cruelty cannot possess a firearm.

Yes, there is no typo there. Clear as mud? Yeah....

Sounds about right, thats called liberal common sense logic.
