The woman at Big R was slightly wrong. You as a resident of MN may certainly buy a LONG GUN (not a hand gun) here in CO through an FFL dealer with no problem just as long as the transfer would comply with the laws/requirements in your home State.. Big R would merely have to have you fill out the Form 4473, they'd make the back ground check contact and you'd have your long gun, after you pay for it of course. After you pay for it, they will hand carry it to the door for you to continue on your way. I live in Trinidad and am pretty familiar with their store. They do have another strange policy and that is that they will not furnish a blank Form 4473 for the customer to take along home for ANY reason. When asked why, they responded that CBI would not allow it and they have to account for each blank Form 4473 that CBI furnishes. Now we all know that CBI does not normally furnish those forms - the U.S. Government furnishes em. Their store/their policy so it's rather difficult to try to convince them that they are wrong.

soco11, as info, there is a gun show up in Pueblo on October 9th and 10th so you should certainly have no problem getting a LONG GUN at that show if you locate the one that you want. I'll be there.
