Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
The $10 has been in effect since early last year. They implemented that almost immediately so I doubt that has anything to do with it. I could believe similer name, or past etc causing additional delays.Originally Posted by merl
I really believe the $10 charge for a BCG has been in effect LONG before "early last year".
Well, We started paying for it directly early last year.
Its all erosion.

Maybe we are talking about two different things.
Started LAST year???
That may well be but the vendors at the Colorado gun shows have been charging for background checks at the shows for a few years now. Some may have been including the $10 in the overall price of the firearm but we have been getting charged for those BCG's since the law was passed some years ago. That law required ANY gun show transfers/sales/swaps, even made by those walking the aisles when they bought, sold or swapped a firearm with other non-FFL's, they must still have a BCG made and the FFL's were not allowed to charge more than $10 if made at the show. Again, that policy was started years ago.

The fee the FFL's charge is not the $10 CBI fee put into law July 2013.
They now collect that fee in addition to whatever they charge, whether it is for a retail sale or private transfer. I think you're confusing the $10 fee most FFL at gunshows charged with the new CBI mandated fee. Most FFL don't add a BGC fee, other than the now mandated CBI fee for a retail sale.

My Feedback
Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.
Credit roberth: List of things Government does best; 1. Steal your money 2. Steal your time 3. Waste the money they stole from you. 4. Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
It's what brutal said. FFL fee + $10. Makes me sleep safer at night.
Apparently we are talking about two different situations. I had mentioned the mandatory BGC at gun shows which was first covered by Colorado Amendment 22 which required a BGC at all Colorado gunshows. This requirement was covered by Article 26.1, 12-26.1-101 and was effective March 31, 2001 (almost 13 years ago).
12-26.1-103 indicates, Fees imposed by licensed gun dealers. For each background check conducted at a gun show, a licensed gun dealer may charge a fee not to exceed ten dollars. So I am sure a lot of dealers may not have charged that ten dollars and just absorbed the fee IF the firearm was actually sold by them from their inventory - but if some guy in the aisle wanted to transfer his personal firearm to another individual at the show, the dealers would normally charge the maximum (at the time) ten bucks. It amounts to the same thing dealers are currently doing at the shows but have now added their administrative costs to the ten bucks. Back when that Amendment 22 came about, the ten bucks was the maximum they could charge for acquiring the BCG and transfer processing when made at gun shows.. Maybe no one will agree with me on this one.
