Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
yes well that is what they say. but i cant find the text to support it.
*shrug* maybe they amended the bill and the txt is not up to date or i just missed it....
Can't really go by Fields as she had no idea what was going on during the amendment process in the 10 rnd mag bill. ie the Sponsor is a Class A idiot
The problem is there is no text against it.Originally Posted by lowbeyond

well that is true. so here is what will happen then. FFL wont do it for 10 bux. I dont blame them.
Then the legislature will fix the issue they caused by explicitly requiring them to do so and as a sweatener they will increase the fee.
There is nothing in the current bill that forces an FFL to perfrom the background check. However when Gardner tried to amend the bill to state FFLs did not have to perform a check it was voted down.
Regardless of how the bill reads, I'm betting this will add about $100 to the cost of a transfer or private sale. We already have places charging $50-$100 for transfers during the panic. Their workload is only going to increase when we can't even sell privately to our friends.
Someone else mentioned it already, but FFL's will just start offering to sell your gun on consignment to your friend for a $50 fee. I seriously can't imagine that dealers will do transfers for $10.
I dont know I am at day 8 now I believe????
The last one a week ago was 7 days exact.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
down to 4 1/2 days, with 5600 in queue. CBI has been processing between 1000 and 2000 checks a day for the past two months, it was just that enough new checks (transfers, some new stock coming in, etc) were coming in to offset and increase the total backlog, while the past week or so it's been tapering off and clearing 400 or 500 more a day than come in.

But they've all of the sudden cleared over 3000 in one day?

CBI Implements Plan to Reduce Queue for Firearms Checks
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has implemented a plan to clear the existing queue by redirecting resources within the Bureau (excluding those who process employment/civil background checks) and extending InstaCheck’s operating hours beginning on Wednesday, February 13, 2013.
The effort to redirect CBI resources at this time is based on CBI’s evaluation of an existing window of opportunity to effectively clear the extended queue.
... While the average for requests for firearms background checks topped 1,100 per day in January 2013 (much higher compared to recent years), CBI had projected levels of 1,500 per day. This slight reduction will enable the current InstaCheck team—with assistance from other CBI staff—to clear the existing queue in an expedited manner.
CBI will closely monitor the progress of those working to clear the existing queue. It’s believed the queue can be cleared in a short period of time, barring additional surges in requests for background checks for firearms purchases.
“We’ve constantly been monitoring the volume of requests for background checks and believe a window of opportunity currently exists to implement a plan to make tremendous headway in reducing the existing queue for background checks for firearms purchases,” said Director Ron Sloan of CBI. “We believe redirecting staffing for a minimal period of time will not adversely affect the service delivery of other CBI work units.”
Snapshot of the Plan:
· Utilize the existing InstaCheck staff (21 people) to conduct background checks.
· Redirect staffing (16 people) from other CBI workgroups (not including those who conduct employment/civil background checks) to assist in the process.
· Extend InstaCheck hours of operation to 16 hours a day (6:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.)
· Any overtime utilized to augment staffing will be covered through vacancy/salary savings within the current budget.
Director Sloan stresses this is a short term solution to address the existing queue and meet the needs of licensed firearms dealers and their customers, while balancing the critical role in public safety the background checks provide.
CBI will continue to work within the legislative process to address future resource needs.
Ya what's up with that, They clear 3days of BG checks in one day? WTF?!
