SB 26-43

Senate Bill 26-43 in Colorado makes it illegal for anyone except federally licensed firearm dealers to sell or transfer a firearm barrel. It requires these dealers to record all sales and transfers of firearm barrels for at least five years and mandates that buyers must be legally allowed to purchase firearms under both state and federal laws, with some exceptions. The bill also classifies the unlawful sale or possession of a firearm barrel with intent to sell as a misdemeanor. Since it has been signed into law, this legislation is now enforceable and impacts anyone involved in the buying, selling, or transferring of firearm barrels within Colorado.
