CBI updated there web page time estimatation section

[KevDen2005]

They are adding 26 temps in order to try to catch up, starting next week as well as moving people from other sections of CBI who have experience with the databases in there temporarily until the temps can get up to speed.

One Guy, I thought you mentioned before that they are possibly going to be hiring in this section. I know a couple people, with clean records of course, that are looking for work and would most likely be willing to do this type of work. Where can I send them to search for such jobs, if they exist?

I think CBI hires through Prime Source Staffing, so anyone looking for a job right now may check into that. I think they pay $10-$11 an hour or something.

Very accurate info. Different shifts and different days off are available if hired.

Mine finally cleared. Submitted Dec. 24th at about 9:15 a.m. Got the call around ten this morning. Now, if it wasn't for this whole, pesky job thing maybe I could get up to Loveland to pick up my new toy.

CBI now has a new, old process. It was if I were willing to wait on "hold" for 4 hours CBI would process 10 form 4473. Now when I call in, they will take the information and put it into the computer and call me back when it is finished, no quicker than when I put it in the queue. WHAT A CROCK OF SHIZ. They are hiring 26 people to answer the phone and put the same information into the computer that I can do myself?

Instead of doing what other states do, put in the CCW license number on the 4473 and letting the gun go to the customer, they hire staff to do what I can do faster. That a bureaucrat for you.

Colorado: Gun Grabbers in the Legislature Continue to Add to Their Rights Infringing Agenda This Session

Earlier this week, state Representative Lois Court (D-6) stated that she will pursue legislation this session that would unnecessarily burden law abiding gun owners with a $10.50 fee for the state mandated background check for each firearm transfer. The cost of this background check, which is conducted by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), is currently covered by the state.

CBI is 1 of only 12 states running this type of duplicative state check, as an overwhelming majority of states rely upon the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to clear purchases of firearms through licensed gun dealers. This duplicative and unnecessary program will cost taxpayers over $2 million this year, yet when tasked with responding to a higher than average demand of volume, CBI has failed to show its true value.

With NICS being used to conduct criminal records checks for purchasers of any modern firearm from a gun dealer in every state, state checks are obsolete and wasteful of scarce fiscal resources. Imposing a gun tax -- or a "user fee" on a constitutional right -- on firearm purchasers to subsidize an unnecessary and duplicative program is the wrong solution to this problem. If such program is a public safety measure, then the public as a whole should pay for it and not just law abiding gun owners. The better solution is to repeal the CBI checks and have firearms transfers subject only to NICS.

In addition to considering the imposition of a gun tax on firearm purchasers, state legislators are proposing a wide variety of gun restrictions this session in an attempt to severely limit your gun rights in the Centennial State. There has been serious discussion by some Democrats in the Colorado General Assembly to ban commonly-owned semi-automatic rifles, ban “high capacity magazines,” restrict private firearm sales and reverse the state Supreme Court ruling on Campus Carry. These misguided proposals are an affront to our constitutional rights as law-abiding citizens.

The battle in Denver that lies before us to protect our gun rights begins next Wednesday, January 9. This will be an assault on our Second Amendment rights unlike one we have ever seen. As gun owners, sportsmen and supporters of the Second Amendment, we urge you to contact Governor John Hickenlooper and your state legislators TODAY and respectfully express your opposition to restrictions to your lawful gun rights.

So if I'm lucky I'll get the call tonight? I did mine at about 5:45 last Thurs (27th) back when they said wait time was 6 days 04 hrs... I don't believe them though, I don't expect a call until tomorrow, which sucks because I'm going to a funeral.
