Gun Show FAQs
How does a federal firearms licensee (FFLs) conduct a lawful transaction involving a non-licensed buyer and gun show vendor?
Colorado law (12-26.1-101) requires that "before a gun show vendor transfers or attempts to transfer a firearm at a gun show, he or she shall: a) require that a background check, in accordance with 24-33.5-424, CRS, be conducted on the prospective transferee; and b) obtain approval of a transfer from the CBI after a background check has been requested by a licensed gun dealer, in accordance with 24-33.5-424, CRS." Colorado law requires compliance with federal law, which requires that all firearm transfers from an FFL are subject to the same laws and rules as any transfer occurring in the FFL's place of business.
If an FFL has received a denial on a background check requested pursuant to CRS 12-26.1-101 (i.e. on a transfer involving a firearm owned by a non-licensee), does the FFL have to request a background check on the owner of the firearm prior to returning it?
Although Colorado law does not require it, the FBI and BATF attorneys agree that federal law requires it.
What if the prospective buyer and the non-licensed owner of the firearm are both denied?
This is a situation that is occasionally encountered by FFL's in consignment situations. Attorneys for the BATF have recommended that you treat this situation as you would with a consignment.
What constitutes a gun show?
3 or more vendors.
