HB1229 stupidity strikes again.....

[KestrelBike]

Not sure why no one isn't challenging dumbfuck lawyers the PD asked about it all in the first place.

As stupid as this is... It is a good thing that it is happening. This is another example of how these laws were not thought out and were a knee jerk reaction to a news cycle. I feel sorry that she has to be the poster child but every time these problems creep up it shines a spot light on the situation. I look at this as if my trusted friend John Doe had borrowed my gun and 72hrs later refused to give it back. What am I supposed to do then... Take John to court of course.

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.

I was curious if the city wasn't making this hard on purpose as a way of showing how the law won't work as written. Is their Sherriff in law suit?

[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.

[Aloha_Shooter]

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.

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.
