The C&R part of Colorado Transfer Law

[Keb]

Now that the July 1 law has passed, I think it is a good time to address a handy exception to the new Background Check Law for Colorado.

About four pages into the law there is an exception for Antique firearms, and the another exception for guns as described in the Federal code 18, and then as referenced in the Federal definitions under 27 CFR 478.11 CURIO AND RELICS which says:

COMMERCE IN FIREARMS
pharaphrase.... definition...Curio and Relics
a) firearms made 50 years prior to the current date
b) museum curator certified
c) historic person or event

This does not refer to you having a C&R Federal licence. It sets all 50 year old guns as exempt from the BGC law.

From the State's side, older guns are almost always low capacity 7 shot autos or revolvers. But to avoid legal hassels, we will be free to deal or loan resident to resident in 1962 or older come July.

In another post nearby, someone reported about the Fix Gun Check Act. Much of that is right in the Colorado Law.

I wonder if they realize the first Colt SP1's are nearly that old.

About page 6 Hunting and Fishing

See how stupid this is....

You can lend a firearm to a hunter to use where it is legal to hunt, fisherman where it is legal to fish.

But in engaging in these activities that person is often temporarily at places where the activity is illegal. You not hunt within 50 feet of the centerline of a road. Sometimes you must unload and pass thru closed areas. The way the law reads, in that transit the transferee is illegal, and the transferor is liable.

Fishermen often have to unbait to cross closed areas. Same issue.

So last week a person near Colorado Springs had their Dachound seized and devoured by a cougar. That person or others going rafting, atv, birdwatching, horsebacking, etc. are all excluded from 2nd A Rights of temporary possession.

I haven't been to Colorado to hunt for four years, which has been my draw period, but I wonder if they really want us nonresidents to keep coming. I know they love the high dollar permit sales.

look....this is a clip of FIX GUN CHECK ACT

Colorado bought into this: see how similar to what the Democrats did:

‘(t)(1) Beginning on the date that is 180 days after the date of enactment of this subsection, it shall be unlawful for any person who is not licensed under this chapter to transfer a firearm to any other person who is not licensed under this chapter, unless a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer has first taken possession of the firearm for the purpose of complying with subsection (s).
