![]() The first step is to contact an FFL and arrange for that dealer to obtain the background check of the transferee. Under Colorado law, this process must be facilitated through an FFL licensee. Generally speaking, before any person who is not a licensed gun dealer transfers or attempts to transfer possession of a firearm to another person, he or she must (1) request that a background check be conducted of the transferee (the person taking possession of the firearm) by an FFL, and (2) obtain approval for the transfer from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (“CBI”). The procedure and exceptions for a private firearm transfer can all be found within C.R.S. This article is intended to educate members about the process of conducting a private firearm transfer in Colorado and the numerous exceptions that commonly apply. However, as of July 1, 2013, Colorado law now requires the majority of private firearm transfers to be facilitated through a dealer with a Federal Firearms License (“FFL”). Private firearm transfers are common and entirely legal to conduct in Colorado.
