Repeal Restrictions on Rifle and Shotgun Purchases/Sales Signed into Law

[crays]

Either way, there's paperwork involved. Correct?

At the time/point of purchase, yes.

Still have the Federal requirements to comply with. How does this new restriction repeal really change anything concerning buying long guns in other than your own home State?

In my opinion, the primary benefit would be the possible increase in"reciprocal" states, so...very limited actual widespread benefit.
Unless you want to call our dumb@ss gubner being able to crow about being 2A friendly because he signed "pro gun" legislation a benefit...
Politcking at it's finest.

Contiguous states allowed for purchase of long guns through their standard procedure. Handguns had to shipped to FFL.
This pertains to in-person purchase. Perhaps you are referencing online purchase? Store policy and certain quirky other-state laws may have been a factor in some peoples' experiences. Regarding 15+ round magazines, see the previous sentence, particularly since our new legislation went into effect. Everyone is going to cover their butts on that part.
My interpretation of that legislation that in is not legal to bring the 30rd mag home with you, even if they did include it with your purchase. I will state that I have not head the new law referenced above. So, legal to purchase the rifle and bring it home, but still constrained by mag limit law.

No I was not speaking to internet sales at all. I have bought long guns in non-contiguous states before the only added step was that it had to be transferred to a Colorado FFL and then from that FFL to me after the standard Colorado background check process. This just seems to do away with that extra step and now were I to buy a long gun in a non-contiguous state I can now take direct possession of it and not have it go through a Colorado based FFL

Previously it was illegal to purchase any firearm in person in a state that does not share a border with CO and just bring it home with you. You had to have it shipped to a CO FFL and do the transfer there. This opens it up so you can buy in person in any state that allows sales to residents of other states without shipping it to a CO FFL, you can just bring it home.

For instance, previously you couldn't go to Montana, the Dakotas, Missouri, etc and buy a rifle or shotgun and bring it home with you. Now you can as long as the state you're buying in allows it. MN is the same way as CO was previously, you can't say buy a firearm in MT or WY and bring it back to MN if you're a MN resident.

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]

Doesn't this mean there would have to be a CBI check due to Colorado's new gun laws?

How about buying or being given a long gun from an immediate family member in the state of Kentucky?

I don't think this law will really have any practical effect at all. I'm all for it, in terms of clearing things up a bit on out of state purchases, but in my opinion it was never illegal for a CO resident to purchase a long gun from a dealer in a non-contiguous state. I think the biggest benefit of the new law will be for democrats, including Hickenlooper, who can now say they voted for and/or signed pro-gun legislation. That's pretty much it.

The old statute read:

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.

That law simply states that a CO resident can purchase in contiguous states. It doesn't say anywhere that a CO resident can't purchase in a non-contiguous state.

It was pretty much the same for non-residents buying in this state:

12-27-101. Legislative declaration - nonresident

(1) It is declared by the general assembly that it is lawful for a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or a licensed collector (licensed under the federal "Gun Control Act of 1968") whose place of business is in this state to sell or deliver a rifle or shotgun to a resident of a state contiguous to this state, subject to the following restrictions and requirements:

(a) The purchaser's state of residence must permit such sale or delivery by law.

(b) The sale must fully comply with the legal conditions of sale in both such contiguous states.

(c) 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 those at the licensee's business premises.

I can tell you as an FFL I sold plenty of long guns over the counter in my shop to residents of states that are not contiguous to CO and the transaction was approved by CBI. This statute, again, just says that residents of contiguous states can buy long guns here from a dealer. It doesn't say that residents of non-contiguous states can't buy here.

Obviously, according to both statutes the sale must comply with the laws of the purchasers other state as well. But, in my opinion, to read into either of those statutes that purchases/sales to residents of non-contiguous states is not permitted is incorrect.

If it has to comply with the laws of CO wouldn't we have to pay the CBI fee, have the out of state ffl run a check through CBI and ncis if their state used them or their own state CBI.

how many guns are really bought in non contiguous states and how many Ffls are actually going to bother with the law, etc.

dickinpooper just wants to say he signed something. That motherless fuck can go sit his ass on a rusty dildo.
