You do know that BATFE reads this forum, right? I suggest when giving advise that may or may not get someone else in legal trouble, that you stick to what you can confirm and leave the things you think you know to campfires and beer stories. If unsure which is which, pick up the phone and call them yourself. Hell, I had to do that regarding barrel length. It took 5 minutes to confirm that I had old info and get it straight. I would think that a businessman, let alone a FFL/SOT holder, would understand this simple principle.


On a side note: Your not the guy from American Guns, are you? You have the same BS know it all attitude as him.....
Guy from ATF is a contractor hired to answer the phones (Ken Mason?) ... not a "federal agent".

I understand the principles involved better than you seem to understand.

What someone tells you over the phone is not legal advice, unless such person is your lawyer, or a district or US attorney.

I do not advocate flouting or ignoring the laws of Colorado or the United States. Your essential fallacy is inferring that the "decent advice" give you by a "contractor" constitutes rock bottom legal principle.

I am not conducting my businesses, or basing my knowledge, on what a call to the ATF branch tells me. I actually read the relevant federal code, and temper my advice with real-world experience against the platitudes and rules of thumb given me over the phone.

I'm sorry if that's too hard for you. Life isn't necessarily easy.
