Question about CO HB1180

[theGinsue]

On Monday, March 16th, House Bill 1180 was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill now heads to the Senate floor where it could be considered any day.

Sponsored by State Representative Steve King (R-54), HB1180 would exempt Colorado concealed handgun permit holders from the background check requirement for the transfer of a firearm.

First off, I think this Bill is a very good thing, but I was wondering...
Given:
18-12-217. Exception to federal background check
requirement. (1) NOTWITHSTANDING 18 U.S.C. SEC 922 (t) (1), A
PERSON WHO HOLDS A VALID PERMIT TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN,
WHICH PERMIT WAS ISSUED OR RENEWED PURSUANT TO THE CRITERIA
DESCRIBED IN SECTION 18-12-203 ON OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF
THIS SECTION, SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT TO AN INSTANT
CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK, AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 24-33.5-424,
C.R.S., AS A PREREQUISITE TO RECEIVING THE TRANSFER OF A FIREARM.

The question is:
Do you rest of you take this that those with a valid, current, CCW that was not issued or renewed after the effective date of this section must still submit to a background check? If this is the case, what about those who have recently renewed or obtained a CCW? Somehow, this doesn't seem quite right.

They can't make it retroactive to permits supplied before the effective date of the law, because the law itself makes changes to the CCW system which are required by ATF in order for a current CCW to serve as an alternative to the NICS check. Grandfathering old permits would make the law non-compliant and defeat its purpose.

If it passes, and you've got a pre-law CCW, contact your sheriff's dept to turn in your old one and apply for a new one, or renew early, or whatever path forward ends up being provided, if you want to take advantage of no NICS.

I agree it's a good thing.

No NICS would be great. Maybe it'd get people to loosen up about selling FTF as well.
