Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
LEOs don't write the laws. It is their job to enforce laws but I'm pretty sure they are also sworn to support the Constitution. What are they to do when the law contradicts the Constitution?Originally Posted by bobbyfairbanks
I didn't mention any thing about that. I was talking about a LEO thinking that the law wouldn't aply to him since he was a cop. If you enforce a law you better dam well follow it as well.
Oh SNAP!
I was waiting for that. Haha

LEOs do no have to undergo a background check or fill out a 4473 if the firearm is for duty use, and the seller has a signed statement from the receiving officer's agency stating that the items are for duty use. Otherwise, yes, a background check is required as it would be for any other private transaction inside Colorado.
A gift to your son or any other immediate family member does not require a background check in Colorado.

Yes, but you must do the background check like every other citizen. Despite whatever position or clearance that you may have, you're acting as a citizen selling/transferring privately owned firearms. Circumventing this legal requirement may risk your job as an LEO. At the very least you should comply in order to cover your own ass. If you think it's bullshit, do something about it.
Not Sure. The regulations for a private party transfer shouldn't apply to a "bona fide" gift between immediate family members. Although, it is my understanding that Colorado law limits your son from legally owning a firearm if he is under a certain age. If this is the case, despite him being a family member, you can purchase a firearm in your own name and then legally transfer it to him when he is old enough. A background check would not be necessary in this future transfer because he is an immediate family member receiving a gift?
Due to the change is legislature, my research yielded different results... Can someone with more knowledge clarify his second question?

I've found nothing in Colorado statutes that define "bona-fide gift". The only reference I've found anywhere is in IRS regulations, and some paperwork is involved in those cases. Again, it's the Democratic idiots in the legislature making laws without understanding the consequences.

I am pretty sure if its a gift to an immediate family member you are ok, but if he is buying it from you and money is being exchanged then a background check it required.

Like I said earlier, I think this is relatively civil compared to a normal joe off the street coming in here posting a thread about trying to get through the "grey area" of the law ie: magazine repair kits, the occasional " if I spit into the wind on a new moon, and it is february 30th, do I still need to go through the BGC?
