BATFE Form 4473 vs. CO Amendment 64

Tis agin duh law to sell to a "Prohibited Person." The 4473 makes the dealer ask the question. The reason they have to ask the question is so that they will know who the "Prohibited Persons" are.

If you knowingly sale to a "Prohibited Person" and the ATF can prove it, you are screwed, 4473 or no 4473 (and maybe even if they can't prove knowingly, as I don't think that is in the law).

They have a history of Agents posing as a "Prohibited Person." Tis not entrapment, if they don't ask you to do it....IOW, if you have a gun for sale, and they show up and buy it.

Me too, but those aren't hair tests.

Being a drug user, or alcohol drinker, does not make you a prohibited person, yet both appear on the 4473. You have to be at least 21 to purchase a pistol from an FFL. Does that mean an 18, 19, or 20 year-old is a prohibited person when it comes to buying a pistol from a private party?

It is NOT just something you see in the movies.

...enough said.

No, they draw blood, even for a simple MRPT clearances. Hair testing is not accureate and easily refuted in court. Please do not use wikipedia as a source as most of it is made up.

I have only had it done once in CO, every job I had in Las Vegas required it.

Personal experience...Wikipedia not involved.

Blood and urine were also taken in conjunction with hair, at least in my case.
I don't know exactly what they did with the samples, but all were collected.

No argument about other jobs or most jobs only using urine or blood.

The "enough said" was not directed at you or your comments.
Perhaps I should have written "I've probably said too much already."

I only had ONE job where they took things extremely serious and required the things I mentioned.

My apology if it came out wrong ...[Beer]

I've had near routine urinalysis tests while in the process and while holding my TS-SCI security clearance with the Army. We also had unit mandated UAs, as well as Brigade S2 mandated UAs for clearance holders. Never had a single hair or blood test.

Don't the Federalies have to have the local Sheriff's permission to do anything like this? Isn't the Sheriff the last line of defense for the Constitution?

The feds don't need the sheriff's permission to do anything in their county. Hell, most of the time, the feds don't even notify the sheriff of any investigation, action, or arrest in their county.
