so, since people ages 18-20 used to be able to buy handguns through private sales, since they're going through ffls now does that mean it's pretty much illegal to buy a handgun under the age of 21 through private party sales now?

You are correct except that the UBC goes into effect on July 1, 2013, not immediately. 18-20 can do private handgun sales through June 30, 2013.

And if your 17 year old kid turns 18 after July 1, sorry, you're SOL. Yet again, this is what happens when you vote for Democraps! I'm so furious, but I've decreed to stay in CO until I see this through (both the legal challenges and the 2014 election).

Well, your kid doesn't even have to be 18 for you to give them a handgun. They just need your written permission when they're not on your property. CRS 18-12-108.5

By the way- the word is that Firing Line will not be doing any bgc for FTF purchases. We will be "opting out".

Yet again, that's the choice of the FFL if they actually want to do FTF transfers... And we get hosed (by our legislature) if the majority of them don't want to and those that do want big fees (again their business, their right to run it how they choose) for the transaction on top of the fee for the BGC. I hope no one here goes shifting their blame to the FFLs, they're not the ones to blame, it's those meddling demorats. <no that is not a typo.

[lowbeyond]

why on earth would any ffl do it for 10 bux ?

everyone is going to opt out.

it is a back door prohibition on private sales.

Why do you think it is worded the way it is.

Looks like I'll be buying my long guns in Wyoming from now on. I am up there frequently anyways so I might as well save myself the $10.

When the bill was in committee they tried to add an amendment that stated no FFL would be required to perform the BGC, it was shot down and they basically said FFLs would be required to do them. I don't see how they can force a business to perform a service for a loss.
