(Little secret- those online law degrees are useless, you cannot pass the BAR with one nor become an attorney in virtually every State in the union)

do you mean a graduate from an ABA accredited law school?

Anybody on this forum who hires a lawyer who is a member of the ABA, is a fool. You are sending your money to a fiercly anti-gun organziation. I refuse to pay dues to the ABA or the CO Bar Association.

Hire a lawyer who is a member of the federalist society.

Not entirely true, there are ways around the ABA accreditation issue, but the idea that there is a shortage of attorneys is utterly f'ing laughable. Someone hasn't been paying attention to the reality of the legal profession. Law schools have been pumping out more attorneys than there really is work for for decades.

Instead he's hoping an attorney will give him the answer he wants, not what federal law IS.

Perhaps the OP was asking something in line like the following:.

Say two CO residents drive down to Raton, NM for a shooting match of some type. One of these shooters is doing horrible with his shooting iron and tells the other guy that he's ready to give the damn gun a toss. The other CO shooter tells his fellow CO guy that he'd take the apparent piss poor gun and maybe swap a similar firearm or something else for it. If they were to make that complete swap while across the NM State line, then who'd know the difference. Better make sure the guy you are giving/swapping with is a REAL FRIEND and not a snitch. I am not suggesting this nor am I condoning it, just mentioning this possible remote situation to gather thoughts/opinions..........

One scenario would take place between now and June 30th and the second scenario if it were to take place after the July 1st BCG law effective date. Again, I don't want anyone think I am mentioning this to promote ANY illegal activity so do NOT read that into the above.

Thought sure that by now, SOMEONE would comment on my post above.

Nothing to comment upon. The scenario you describe would violate Colorado law on July 1. The persons if discovered would be prosecutable.

Ditto. Once someone sees or knows of a law being broken, you have the potential to be an accessory before the fact. With knowledge of a crime but failed to report it. Some of the shit i read on line i change the page asap.

OK for the violation when the new July 1st law going into effect especially since that new law would be circumvented but what about between NOW and June 30th?
