not to ruin someones thread but,why post potential illegal act on here?

So long as the state you're gifting to is touching Colorado you're good to go. That's the way the law is here, you can sell to anybody that is a bordering state (at least that's the way it was a few years ago, could have changed).

You are referring to C.R.S. 12-27-101 through 104, "contiguous states" and you are not correct in your belief. It deals with licensed dealers, not private citizens. This language was mimicked from the federal law.

12-27-101 Legislative Declaration - Nonresident

(1) It is declared by the general assembly that it is lawful for a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or a licensed collector (licensed under the federal "Gun Control Act of 1968") whose place of business is in this state to sell or deliver a rifle or shotgun to a resident of a state contiguous to this state, subject to the following restrictions and requirements:

(a) The purchaser's state of residence must permit such sale or delivery by law.
(b) The sale must fully comply with the legal conditions of sale in both such contiguous states.

(c) The purchaser and the licensee must have complied, prior to the sale or delivery for sale of the rifle or shotgun, with all of the requirements of section 922 (c) of the federal "Gun Control Act of 1968" applicable to interstate transactions other than those at the licensee's business premises.



12-27-102 Legislative Declaration - Resident

(1) It is declared by the general assembly that it is lawful for a resident of this state, otherwise qualified, to purchase or receive delivery of a rifle or shotgun in a state contiguous to this state, subject to the following restrictions and requirements:

(a) The sale must fully comply with the legal conditions of sale in both such contiguous states;
(b) The purchaser and the licensee must have complied, prior to the sale or delivery for sale of the rifle or shotgun, with all of the requirements of section 922 (c) of the federal "Gun Control Act of 1968", applicable to interstate transactions other than at the licensee's business premises.


12-27-103 Definitions

As used in this article, unless the context otherwise requires:
(1) "A state contiguous to this state" means any state having a common border with this state.
(2) All other terms shall be construed as such terms are defined in the federal "Gun Control Act of 1968".


12-27-104 Article Does Not Apply - When

(1) The provisions of this article do not apply to:
(a) Transactions between licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, and licensed collectors;

(b) The loan or rental of a firearm to any person for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes;

(c) A person who is participating in any organized rifle or shotgun match or contest, or is engaged in hunting, in a state other than his state of residence and whose rifle or shotgun has been lost or stolen or has become inoperative in such other state, and who purchases a rifle or shotgun in such other state from a licensed dealer if such person presents to such dealer a sworn statement:

(I) That his rifle or shotgun was lost or stolen or became inoperative while participating in such a match or contest, or while engaged in hunting, in such other state; and

(II) Identifying the chief law enforcement officer of the locality in which such person resides, to whom such licensed dealer shall forward such statement by registered mail.

It's actually not illegal. . .

He's in another state, people sell guns (even handguns) state to state all the time. To complete this transaction and sell him a Glock 26, all you'd have to do is have an FFL ship to an FFL near him and it's completely legal.

Now I'm ASSuming that by having his son "handle it" he meant that his son would check condition of the firearm for him before your FFL ships to his FFL.

all on the up and up. . . . .


Now if he was asking to have his son buy a gun for him in another state, that's a completely different story

oh, and I think having to wait to view or post in classified sections until a certain post count is a silly idea. There are forums that I read every day that in 5 years I haven't hit 100 posts yet.

Just because some people think they know "everything about everything" and want everyone to "know that they know" doesn't mean that they are trustworthy or honest. "buyer and seller beware"

I may have been reading wrong, If I was... But, this was the impression I was getting...

So it looks like it says nothing of the sort so long as you are both here in Colorado making the sale. What I was referring to only applies to FFLs. Is that correct?

Sure it's not illegal so long as you ship to an FFL. But the way the post was worded made it look like his son would "handle things" i.e. purchase the gun for him and he would "ship himself" the gun to be traded to his son's address. You may very well be right, he could have intended to go through an FFL but it didn't sound like it at all.

Well Bobby caught me on a bad day, I have an eyelash caught in my eye and I can't get it out and it is very irritating.. So, thread is locked and Bobby is on a 7 day time out.. You guys seem smart enough to sniff out the trolls and such, so, I have little to worry about..

Just a word of warning, until I get the eyelash out of my eye,,

Should have sent me a PM. I would have rushed right over and poured cup after cup of water in your eye until it was out.

Well, I have some saline solution for contacts if you'd like to borrow some. I did like seeing you use the ban hammer today though.
