Private Firearm Sale & Purchase Laws in Colorado

In Colorado, complex laws govern the purchase and sale of firearms. Even private sales are subject to certain regulations.

Some of the regulations surrounding firearm sale & purchase include the following:

  • The buyer must undergo a background check.
  • The transaction must be recorded as if it were a retail transaction.
  • Any denial to buy/sell from the background check is reportable to law enforcement.

If you are convicted of a violation of the various rules governing firearm sale and purchase you could be facing a Class One Misdemeanor and penalties that include up to 18 months in jail and being prohibited from owning a firearm for two years.

Proper Firearm Disposal in Colorado

When residents have firearms or ammunition that they wish to get rid of, they are supposed to report it to local law enforcement and either drop it off at their police station, or wait for an officer to come by their location and take care of it. If a firearm is disposed of in another way, you could be charged with criminal disposal of a firearm.
