HB23-1219 3 Day Waiting Period To Deliver A Firearm

https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb23-1219

I guess this is up for hearing Monday. That will make private transfers with FFLs a PITA because now they will have to store it, and we'll have drive to the FFL twice to buy it. I'm sure a lot will stop doing private transfers and will charge even more now if they keep doing them. Another feel good emotional law that screws over the people who don't commit crimes. 2026 can't come soon enough; I'm so ready to get out of the shit hole of a state.

I wonder if there are any exceptions? Texas has (or had) a waiting period for handguns. If you had a concealed carry license you were exempt from the waiting period and could walk out with your new toy right after the purchase. My memory isn?t that good but there may have been an exception for someone who had a current restraining order against someone else.

This is Colorado; there will be no exceptions for concealed carry. I listened to that reasoning during the hearings for the mandatory background check; these people don't care. They will do what they want to do.

They haven't had a waiting period in Texas as far as I know... My brother in law purchased a gun in texas 4 or 5 years ago and didn't have a waiting period. Definitely not one now.

But they do let conceal carry holders bypass the background check when buying a gun.

The only exception will be for law enforcement/military which is surprising seeing how much they hate those groups as well.

Just the black market sales, or finding them in cars, or in unlocked gun stores... to name a few.

Firearms made prior to 1973 are considered C&R. Old school transfers…

Using DeGette logic, those are old and non-functional.
