Private Party FFL Transfer

[Rucker61]

The FFL really doesn't make much on a person to person transfer. I'm pretty sure the actual law says they can't charge more than a ten dollar fee. You will pay that and the mandatory ten dollar fee for the CBI check which gouges to the CBI and not the dealer. I really can't blame them for not wanting to log things in and out of their books for a piddly $10. I avoid the big box stores as much as possible but I have been known to do a transfer at Gander Mountain on occasion even though I hope they go belly up soon. I really prefer to do all of my transfers at Noah's shop whenever I can (Ark Tactical).

I think they can charge only $10 for the BGC, but whatever they like for the transfer activity.

There are two fees.
The CBI fee which must be collected and passed on to the state.
The transfer fee which is up to the FFL but limited to $10 max.

I'm not sure, but here is the actual wording in the law.

"A licensed gun dealer may charge a fee for services rendered pursuant to this section, which fee shall not exceed ten dollars."

My personal interpretation of that is that they are not allowed, by the law, to charge you more than ten dollars for their service. Plus, obviously, the mandatory $10 CBI fee that you would pay on any background check done in Colorado for any firearm purchase.

If a dealer wants to charge me more than $20 ($10 for the transfer and $10 for the CBI fee) I go elsewhere. And, in my mind, they are in violation of state law by charging me more. Probably why most of them just don't mess with it.
