    Weld District Attorney Ken Buck says he won’t prosecute flood evacuees who give their firearms to other people for safe keeping, although he says that’s a direct violation of a new law that requires universal background checks for any transfer of guns.

    Do we know if any law enforcement agencies tried to charge flood vicitms for this? I assume Buck's press release was a result of someone's stupidity.

    I believe it was preemptive as the WCSO had stated that they wouldn't be enforcing the law anyways.

    Why would someone feel the need to make it public information that they "gave their firearms to a friend for safe keeping".

    Not specifically public but I could see it mentioned to the police when coming out of a flood area with a load of crap. They are going to want to talk to you and make sure you aren't a looter.

    I suspect since he is running for the US Senate he wants it to be known that he is not in favor of bloomberg's gun laws in Colorado.

    I'm ok with the statement. If nothing, it shows the stupidity of it when Theory meets Reality.
