Lots of folks must be buying guns today

[Doc45]

Submitted to cbi at 2:15, still waiting, grrr. **Took 3 hrs 15 minutes, guess the gun show was busy, I was at a shop

[electronman1729]

1.5 hours for me today

[JohnnyDrama]

There was a gun show here today. I didn't make it.

[Great-Kazoo]

5 minutes here. Fill out 4473, show CCW and pay at the register.

[Doc45]

I really wish Colorado would go the way of the other states that waive with ccw. Not gonna happen.

CO had it for about 1 year, ish. Then some politician decided that was another loophole.

They don't do that here...yet. I'm pretty sure it's on the way, though. But the checks are actually "instant". I've seen my dealer hit submit and have the approval in well under a minute. The governor also just signed a law that states any business conducting business in the state will be banned from doing business in the state if they discriminate against other lawful businesses. It's designed to punish businesses like credit card processors that refuse to work with gun dealers or other firearm related businesses.

Seems a long wait for the number of applicants in the queue.

Maybe the staff has a some mandatory gender and race theory training this weekend?

I've purchased two guns since moving here and two different stores. Cabela's was ridiculous. It wasn't the background, as they told me I was approved in less than five minutes. But their process otherwise took so long I think I could have bought a car faster.

Another gun store I went to, again background less than five minutes, I would say nearly instantaneous.

System went down sometime yesterday and still having issues is what I as told. Once they sort out the software it should return to normal once the backlog is cleared. Seems like BS to me, but it is what it is.

That's some good information. The numbers are surprising! Interesting to see the flow over the months.

I've always wondered about that "Fugitives Arrested" column. As far as the background check are the CBI or local police alerted when a bad guy is trying to buy a gun? I have heard of one at a LGS in Parker years ago, just but not sure what triggers the contact with the Police.
The reasons for denial say a lot too.

I was hanging out at a newly opened LGS here in the Denver Metro area while another individual was purchasing a firearm and doing the BG check. The phone rang and the proprietor excused himself to the backroom for a moment. About 10 minutes later, two local LEO came through the front door and apologized to the purchaser that they needed to take him down to the station for booking. Turns out it was CBI that called and told the proprietor the purchaser had an active arrest warrant. The funny thing is the LEO told the proprietor to keep the purchaser's firearm ready to pick-up, because he would be able to come back in a hour or so and get it. The heinous crime the purchaser was arrested for was...

FAILURE TO PAY A "FISHING WITHOUT A LICENSE" TICKET!

CBI didn't tell the proprietor what the warrant was for, so he had no idea if he had a wanted felon on the premises or something stupid.

years ago diong a BGC at a now defunct ffl. I was asked to keep the person having the bgc busy, as officers were in transit. The buyer had a FTA for what ever misdemeanor and was soon in cuffs.

It's interesting how someone with a minor offence is jammed up, while a multiple convictions felon walks the streets.

And you take a look at the reasons for denial, assault, robbery, domestic violence,... why would you attempt to pass a BGC if you had any history of the afore mentioned?
It looks like quite a few people try anyway.

The person in question actually told the cop, when he was being cuffed. I thought they had forgot about those warrants. OOPS

[FoxtArt]

Yeah 95% of those are probably traffic-related warrants. Or unpaid citations, or whatever.

Which why people let things get that far is always a surprise to me.

Half the population is below average.
