HB1229 stupidity strikes again.....

[kidicarus13]

I'd like to see a lawsuit come out of this. I'd also like to see a Democratic Representative get denied on their BGC.

Personally, I think FCPD is being intentionally obtuse on this. If they can "hold temporarily" without having an FFL or BGC, they can return to the original owner without same.

[Rucker61]

But how is the FCPD conducting said BGCs ? Are they doing them through the PD ? Do they have an FFL on staff ? Or are they going over to a LGS for an FFL to conduct these checks ? And are they doing on the property room person after to firearm has been there in excess of the 72 hrs. allowed for temporary transfers allowed by the now existing laws ?

No idea. rdavis@fcgov.com or 970 221-6540

Exactly, this illustrates the ignorance of this law and maybe the City is doing this to bring light to the stupidity.

I would doubt this, Bert. Unless my perception of the city of Fort Collins as being left-leaning is errant. If my perception is off, I'd be more that willing to hear otherwise (would love to find out I'm wrong about FC).

I've got friends on the Fort Collins PD. They've said that if a cop is involved in a shooting, and his gun is impounded, once he's cleared, he has to pass a BGC for him to have his gun reissued. I believe the same applies for when he passes rifle qualification and is issued an AR - must pass a BGC. They're against all of the new laws as much as we are.

IF a LE has to confiscate a firearm they have to do a BG check on them self prior to taking it. Local LE's unless they are responding to a DV call. They have been instructed to NOT remove a firearm from the property w/out doing one.

Larimer Cty SO is firearm friendly Ft. Collins PD (city) is far from it.

City Attorney is a dumbass. BGC for "Operations of Law" are exempt, just the same as Gunsmithing operations.
The City can just return the firearm to the lawful owner.
Now here is where it gets interesting: define "Operation of Law". Did the owner commit a crime with the firearm? Is she suspected of committing a crime? Was the firearm used in commission of a crime?
If the answer to any of the above is no then the "Operations of Law" may very well not apply.

I am trying to understand your last sentence. If operations of law are exempt, then I would think that if there were none of the listed transgressions, then it WOULD apply and the gun just returned to its owner.

There are some interesting points being made here. I am on the Larimer County District Attorney's community advisory board and we will be having a quarterly meeting tomorrow and this is one of the issues I will bring up with the district attorney.

Regardless of what fudley and dudley do gooder thinks, she shouldn't have to go through any background checks to retrive her private property that wasn't involved in a crime.

This. It is her personal property. I doubt she asked the police to temporarily keep an eye on it for her. If they took possession of your lawn mower and you hadn't committed a crime I bet they would just give it back.

Personally, I would have had the media and an attorney down at the station the same day they refused to return my personal property.
