To question your government is not unpatriotic — to not question your government is unpatriotic.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
But, it's for the children!
Since Sportsman's isn't going to sell any remaining firearms that have standard magazine capacities that are non-Colorado compliant after tomorrow, will they have to run BGCs to return them to their distributors? This is assuming they don't load them out tomorrow night.
There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
HUGE problem in this scenario. The number one concern about HB1229, and main reason many will never do these.
BTW, a fee is going to be associated to this stuff too. Ya, I know what the law says but no way people are doing this for $10. Won't even cover the labor and time involved. There are ways around the law's wording and it will happen by those that will do these transfers.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
Really, why bother even following this law. There is no registration of firearms thus no way to know who owns what. Screw this law, it is not enforceable unless you are buying form an undercover or get caught in a sting of some sort. If you know the person though, screw it!
Ok, rant off, this just pisses me off!
The $10 fee is for the Background Check through CBI, the FFL dealers can charge a Tranfer fee as they wish. I have had a dealer already do this to me, $10 for the Background check, plus 2X $25 Tranfer fees for 2 items and this was for a receiving FFL.
I am sure they will increase this transfer fee for the hassle of a person to person sale.

If a dealer is receiving a firearm for someone (for example, when a firearm is being shipped from another state), they are allowed to charge whatever they want as a service fee for the transfer but, if they are just facilitating the sale between two people in Colorado, HB 13-1229 is very specific when it says that the dealer can only charge a fee not to exceed $10.
18-12-112(2)(d) - A LICENSED GUN DEALER MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SERVICES RENDERED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, WHICH FEE SHALL NOT EXCEED TEN DOLLARS.
So, you just know there will be damn few FFL dealers who will agree to screw around with these transfers if $10 is actually the maximum they can charge per 18-12-112(2)(d) for their transfer service. Surely some of our FFL holders will jump on here with a comment or two!
Before this law goes into effect, dealers have been able to charge a maximum of $10 for BG checks while at a gun show..
