A jeep is certainly different than a gun. Is anything up for grabs? Just want to be sure I understand the rules.

I didn't sell it on POA, I sold it elsewhere. Was asked, so i provided info.

For what it's worth, it's just a gun. No need to start panicking.

Jeep? or gun(s)? :D
How about a beautiful, low mileage 1998 Jeep Wrangler, only driven by a little young lady on Sundays to go to APA for work, (before I got it) equipped with a good condition S&W Model 15 revolver in .38 Special, only shot on Sundays by a POA Colorado transplant?

Sorry - not allowed to advertise items for sale in this forum ... :D
 
Buying/selling a gun with an FFL (other than the nominal fee) isn't any harder or onerous than dealing with the FAA Civil Aircraft Registry when transferring airplanes :)

Meh, doesn't seem that common or take away from the site IMO

Besides guns and airplanes go together, depending on where you fly.

For backcountry ops and flying out to remote places and camping, having a nice airplane shotgun isn't a bad investment. Behind the third seats and in the rear compartment there's even a fishing pole/gun rack in my plane.

Been debating buying a mossberg mariner or remi marine magnum just for a gun that lives in the plane.
 
I just have a regular 870. It doesn't get that wet in my plane.

I've got a Mossberg 500 slugster for that. Couldn't be happier with it. I put a smoothbore 24" barrel with rifle sights on it. Throw a slug or "flashbang" in it for bears, bird shot for small game/birds should it be necessary.
 
OP, yeah it's a pain, but it shouldn't be that tough. Most FFLs will do private transfers (for a fee). NICS checks are not required for private sales in Ohio but if I were selling something I'd probably require it anyway.

And no, I'm not a sheep. It's just CYA in case the guy's a nut. :)

Yup, I figured 3.5" slugs and 00 buck, speed feed stock with standard bird shot on one side for shooting things to eat if needed, 12G flares on the other side for signaling, night sights and store it in one of those soft floating cases.
 
If you got a 12 g you can get all sorts of fun rounds from rubber balls to flares to flash bangs to door breachers to confetti.

There's also a golf ball launcher for ARs firing blanks. I've got no interest but they're out there.
 
I only golf on courses that have little windmills in the middle of the so the AR-15 probably ins't required. But since I have one, I might look into the golfball launcher.
 
Someone made a "can cannon" for an AR lower but it was ruled an AOW by the ATF. Last I heard they had made tweaks and were waiting on feedback on the new product.
 
Bottom line? This is a stupid law that was created by liberals, out of an irrational fear of guns. Criminals still exchange guns illegally, just as they always have. In most cases the background check law is being ignored by the firearms enthusiasts of Colorado (at least in my experience). If it was a gun you owned prior to the passage of that law, it would be mighty hard to prove when you sold it, if you don't create a paper trail. That's not the legal way to do it (by state law), but I know for a fact that these kinds of transactions are still taking place on a very regular basis. But, if you want to do things legally, others have mentioned the correct method already, which involves finding a willing FFL holder to do the transfer, and paying the stupid fees (because that will keep criminals from stealing guns, apparently).
