"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
Maybe grounds for a different lawsuit/challenge to the bill?
I have purchased long guns from dealers in other states. (Prior to July 1st)
You just fill out the 4473 as usual, they run it through the national system, and off you go with your rifle. No big deal.
A buddy of mine even bought a handgun out of state. Paid for it and they shipped it to his on-state FFL where he did the paperwork and picked it up.
Some of you guys really make this a lot more complicated than it is.
I'm telling you...unless it is specifically contrary to WY law there is no CO law or federal statute that would prohibit a CO resident from purchasing a long gun, over the counter, from a licensed FFL.
Believe what you want or heard on the internet, but them's the facts. But don't take my word for it...I just got it from the ATF website using my secret access that no one else in the world has.
Q: From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee’s premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]

For those that are Google challenged:
12-27-102. Legislative declaration - residents
(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.
Notice is says a resident may purchase a long gun in states contiguous to CO. It doesn't say a CO resident CAN'T purchase in a state that's NOT contiguous to CO.
Just an FYI....WY is contiguous to CO.

Show of hands for FFL's/Former FFL's on the forum: Have you ever sold a long gun over the counter at your licensed premises to a resident of a state NOT CONTIGUOUS to Colorado and had CBI approve the background check?
Another show of hands for forum gun buyers: Have you ever purchased a long gun over the counter at a licensed dealer in a state NOT CONTIGUOUS to Colorado?

Even purchased a rifle in NY years ago. ID, filled out forms, paid upon approval and left.
there is 1 exception to this. that's CA. They will not sell anyone a long gun w/out a FFL in hand.
Also a resident of CA cannot buy long guns in any state , IF the long gun is prohibited in CA. The stores i "worked in" didn't do any sales to CA residents.
