Was discussing the BG check nonsense with a friend and he has an interesting idea but I was hoping some of the legal beagles that post here could comment (so no FUD please, if you want to poke holes in this idea, please cite statute).

He was saying that under Federal Law it is perfectly legal for two residents of one state to transfer a firearm to one another when they're both in another state. For example, two Coloradoans run into each other in Cody Wyoming while on vacation and Coloradoan A can legally sell a gun he happens to have with him to Coloradoan B without going through an FFL since even though you're in a different state, the transfer is not going across state lines.

According to the new stupid law here in CO, transfers between Coloradoans THAT TAKE PLACE IN CO are required to go through the BG check. But the law is silent on transfers between Coloradoans THAT TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE CO.


Ok, this sounds to my layman's ears like it wouldn't work ... so any thoughts from people that know the law?
