What do you need to prove residency other than CO ID?

[cfortune]

I just called Wal-Mart and told them I had a out of state ID but other stuff to prove residency. They told me I could come down and purchase a Firearm. He asked what kind of gun I wanted and I told him a AR15, he said come on down.

The Wal-Mart near me has a sign stating they can legally sell firearms to some nearby state residents. I can't recall which ones but there was 6 or 7 of them.

You don't have to be from state bordering Colorado ? I thought it was required that you have to be from bordering state.

Bordering states provisions went away in 1986, federally. Some states still have them on their books, which might limit some transactions.

If federal law is more restrictive, federal law overrides; but if state law is more restrictive, state law overrides.

Colorado has no LIMIT to bordering states, so kinda depends on the purchaser's state, not Colorado law, and this only applies to federally licensed dealers.

Non-licensed sellers may only sell to residents of their own state.

Non-licensed buyers may only buy from residents of their own state, or rifles or shotguns from licensed dealers in any state, provided both state's laws allow it.

I wouldn't rely on the Wal-Mart AR-15. It's legal for a non-resident to buy a gun from an FFL.

ETA: beaten to it. Day late and $2.07 (post-QE3) short.

I have a guy on his way to look at a gun but has an out of state ID. He has just moved here and has other stuff to prve he lives here mortgage papers vehicle registration, and he said Wal-Mart let him by an AR15 this way which he can prove.

What of handguns?

You can't buy a handgun outside of your state of residence at all.
