Colorado requirements

Does Colorado law require a firearm seller shipping to their State to have a FFL or go thru an FFL.?. A FFL on both ends that is.

    That should be detailed in the Colorado state website. Longguns and handguns may have different regs.

    • Rifles and shotguns can be shipped by an individual to any FFL in any State
    • Handguns must always go FFL to FFL.

    That is from the ATF website.

    Had to educate myself on Oregon law but not Colorado. Seems like Colorado going off the rails too. Kevin is correct on ATF. I believe some states seem to think they trump federal law. ( states rights????? ) Lot of times states just copy wording from ATF.

    Here in NY State our new governor defies the US Supreme Court.

    Watched the video about ATF using a Algorithm to punish honest, respectable FFL dealers and pull their license. Disgusting!

    Kevin, Colorado may have different requirements than ATF. NM requires all transfers, in or out of state, to go through an FFL. Some of them do.

    Sorry for the long post, but @He Dog brought up a good point about Anti-American, 2A-hating State gun restrictions. Here's what I found for Colorado:

    RIFLES

    Prohibited:

    Rifles that come with over a 15 round capacity magazine from the manufacturer.

    (Does not include .22LR tube-fed rifles or tubular magazines contained in a lever action rifle of any caliber.*)

    SHOTGUNS

    Prohibited:

    A fixed, tubular shotgun magazine that holds more than 28 inches of shotgun shells, including any extension device that is attached to the magazine and holds additional shells.*

    Shotguns that come with a non-tubular, detachable magazine, box, drum, feed strip, or similar device that is capable of accepting more than 8 shotgun shells when combined with a fixed magazine.*

    HANDGUNS

    Prohibited:

    Handguns that come with over a 15 round capacity magazine from the manufacturer.

    ACCESSORIES/AMMUNITION

    Prohibited:

    Magazines exceeding 15 rounds.

    A non-tubular, detachable magazine, box, drum, feed strip, or similar device that is capable of accepting more than 8 shotgun shells when combined with a fixed magazine.*


    Denver and Denver County Restrictions

    RIFLES

    Prohibited:

    All semi-automatic, centerfire rifles with a detachable magazine with a capacity of fifteen (15) or more rounds.

    SHOTGUNS

    Prohibited:

    All semi-automatic shotguns with a folding stock or a capacity of more than six (6) rounds OR both.

    HANDGUNS

    Prohibited:

    All semi-automatic pistols that are modifications of rifles having the same make, caliber, and action design but a shorter barrel and no rear stock or modifications of fully automatic weapons originally designed to accept magazines with a capacity of fifteen (15) or more rounds.

    (Firearms using rimfire ammunition are excluded from the above restrictions)

    From everything I have read I need to go thru a Wisconsin FFL to ship the shotgun to the Colorado FFL.

    If the shotgun isn't in one of the prohibited categories, you as an individual can ship it directly to a FFL in Colorado.

    Follow up: Kevin, you are correct the Colorado FFL finally told me today that I can ship the lever action rifle to him without a FFL on my end. All is well here in Wisconsin 😊

    Remember as you go on, that FFL's can and do make up their own rules, sometimes requiring more than the law.
