I've been putting together a pamphlet for law enforcement on Colorado gun laws and I haven't covered/researched the private party sale yet. but this is what I believe it correct.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Call me skeptical but I usually hit the ignore button on people wanting to sell/buy, on this site, from out of state.

RE: the issue of buying out of state.
A resident of any state can purchase a long gun here in Colorado so long as the buyer's state of residence allows it. CA would be the obvious example of a state that prohibits their residents from purchasing out of state.
Notice the Colorado law only says that "it is lawful for a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or a licensed collector (licensed under the federal "Gun Control Act of 1968") whose place of business is in this state to sell or deliver a rifle or shotgun to a resident of a state contiguous to this state". That wording doesn't prohibit folks from other states buying long guns in Colorado assuming their state of residence allows it. In other words, it says it's OK for people from contiguous states to buy here. It doesn't prohibit residents of non-contiguous states from buying here. CBI approves transactions from pretty much any state for non-residents purchasing long guns here. In my experience the notable exception is California.
The same thing applies to CO residents buying outside CO. CO law says residents can purchase long guns in states contiguous to CO. It doesn't prohibit CO residents from purchasing in other states not contiguous to CO.
If it said CO residents can "only" purchase in states contiguous to CO, that would be a different story.

Since the thread hijacks have already started...
If I wanted to give one of my Garands to my nephew (a minor) in TX, that would be okay for the feds and "look it up" for their state law as long as it was sent to a TX FFL for my sister or BIL to transfer?
But if I drive down there for Thanksgiving and make the gift in person to any family member, that is not okay by the feds and therefore not even worth looking up either state's laws?
Maybe's it would be better to send a Cabela's gift card so they can buy without my involvement, just not as many cool uncle points that way and of course more expensive.
UNCLE XJ!!!
I want a Garand TOO!
