Private Party FFL Transfer

[bobbyfairbanks]

So my self and another forum member recently traded guns and of course did a FFL transfer. This was not easy. I suggested that we meet about half way for each of us. That ended up being Tri Lake shooting in Monumnet. I was planning on buying a 550 from them as well as the transfer. They said no even if I bought the press. So I started calling around. Bass Pro, Shootin Den, Sportsmans.... We ended up going through a very small FFL that runs it out of his house for the transfer. I don't get it. With these new retarded laws you would think FFL would want to help out gun owners and on top of it make free money. It takes about 3 min of work to do a FFL transfer. Most charge about $30. That is about $10 a min. Not bad money in my opion. Red Bear guns ended up helping us out at the last minute and I was extremely greatful. Neadless to say finding out that these gun shops wont do a private FFL transfer you have now lost my business. Guys that live down near the springs where have you been doing FFL transfers at?

I wonder if perhaps the big box gun stores have had a hand in, or were supportive of the law because
it would increase their sales. I'm speculating only.

My local shop In bailey is very helpful, Thanks Josh

This is one place where the FFL's fell flat on their face when it came to the debates regarding the legislations.
If there was ever a time to pull together that was it, and they failed.




Not that it would have mattered, the Dems were gonna do what they were gonna do regardless.

The FFL really doesn't make much on a person to person transfer. I'm pretty sure the actual law says they can't charge more than a ten dollar fee. You will pay that and the mandatory ten dollar fee for the CBI check which gouges to the CBI and not the dealer. I really can't blame them for not wanting to log things in and out of their books for a piddly $10. I avoid the big box stores as much as possible but I have been known to do a transfer at Gander Mountain on occasion even though I hope they go belly up soon. I really prefer to do all of my transfers at Noah's shop whenever I can (Ark Tactical).

I think they can charge only $10 for the BGC, but whatever they like for the transfer activity.

There are two fees.
The CBI fee which must be collected and passed on to the state.
The transfer fee which is up to the FFL but limited to $10 max.

I'm not sure, but here is the actual wording in the law.

"A licensed gun dealer may charge a fee for services rendered pursuant to this section, which fee shall not exceed ten dollars."

My personal interpretation of that is that they are not allowed, by the law, to charge you more than ten dollars for their service. Plus, obviously, the mandatory $10 CBI fee that you would pay on any background check done in Colorado for any firearm purchase.

If a dealer wants to charge me more than $20 ($10 for the transfer and $10 for the CBI fee) I go elsewhere. And, in my mind, they are in violation of state law by charging me more. Probably why most of them just don't mess with it.

This is bullshit regardless what the law is we all know most still charge 25-50 dollars for a transfer and lets say they do only charge $10. Most transfer take less then 3 min for you to impute. So the beer math on that is $3.33 a minute. That is dam good money. What do people behind the gun counter do the rest of the time. NOT much. This is just plain being a D bag.
