    Default Background checks and immediate family

    I had no luck with the search function but that could be because I'm not using the right terms. I'm hoping y'all can give me some guidance. I ran across an article in the DP that included this:
    Senate Democrats amended the House version of the bill to exempt immediate family from undergoing background checks in a gun transfer. The bill also allows an individual to loan a gun for up to 72 hours without a background check — as long as no one legally barred from owning a gun is involved.
    Does the Colorado BC law adhere to this? There's no problem with the family member passing a BC, but I don't want to spend the money or the time if I don't have to. Which brings up a second question: Can anyone recommend an FFL in the Ft Collins/Loveland/Greeley area to do the BC, preferably on the cheap if it's needed?

    Do what you feel is right. The average BGC with fees etc is up to $30-45 around the windsor area. Liberty USA in the fort is doing them for a few dollars less than windsor armory. But does anyone really want to drive in to ft fun? Best to call around for pricing. I know the LUSA is no longer doing them on weekends.

    Per the CRS, the UBC law does not apply to a transfer that is a bona fide gift or loan between immediate family members, which are limited to spouses, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, first cousins, aunts, and uncles.

    I believe, "as long as they're are not a prohibited person," is in there. Which the OP did mention would not be an issue

    Also does not apply to anything C&R, which means anything on the list and anything in its original configuration which is 50 or more years old...

    But only if the qualified relative lives in Colorado too, correct?
