That's one where I would support requiring him to pass a background check first. You ought to be able to find someone who will run it for him for $30 or so.

I thought a DUI was a felony, and felons cannot own firearms.

As an FFL, I can tell you that conviction of any crime for which you can be sentenced to over a year (exactly one year or less doesn't count) in jail is a disqualification for buying firearms from a licensed dealer. Not sure how or if that extends to firearms you already possess, or buying from private persons.
The "over one year" is on the 4473, and does NOT only include felonies... felonies are an automatic disqualification all their own.

Pretty sure the law states you may not even own a firearm if convicted of a felony or crime punishable by more than 1 year in prison.
I would just pay the money for the background check, or have him pay it, or head to the local FFL shop and ask them to run one.
In the end, I would error on the side of safety. not worth it to lose your rights to sell a gun to a guy. especially since you have knowledge that he was in prison for 2 years.
Does anyone know what Colorado uses to determine if you are intoxicated while having a firearm? I assume they just use .08, but I know some states did/do have it where for driving it was .08, but a firearm it was 1.0. Anyone know?
"There are no finger prints under water."
I'd be walking just for that... but is it legal, DUI is felony right? Still STRONGLY suggest you run a background as mentioned. How about going consignment through a FFL?
DUI is a felony? What the hell?
"There are no finger prints under water."
Any crime punishable with a prison sentence over 12 months is a felony. No, it's not legal to sell him a gun. You can try, but it would be a waste of $30.
