Do you realize what you just posted? A "common carrier" can transport guns in CO, period, exactly like all other 56 (a reference just for AS) states.



No that is not what I posted. The caveat is that the gun must be either being shipped to or returning from a licensed gunsmith or a factory warranty to the original owner for a repair. An owner giving a gun to a common carier just for shipping purposes does not qualify for that exemption. There might be a way if the carrier has it less than 72 hours which might be considered a loan , of which I believe is legal in Colorado,but I am not certain of that.

Also I have heard, although not substaniated, that firearms over 50 years old are exempt.

Probably not a big deal as most sheriffs are not enforcing the law,but it only takes one to completely ruin ones day.
