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.
