Colorado’s controversial new gun law requiring a background check for any transfer of a firearm has left one woman unarmed.And, the repercussions keep echoing in Colorado.
Sara Warren said Fort Collins police took her Ruger SR9, which she uses for personal protection in her job as a maid when visiting clients’ homes, after an accident required her to be transported to the hospital.
The police want to give it back, but a new universal background check law passed last year amid much controversy requires a Federal Firearms License background check.
Fort Collins police don’t have an FFL holder on staff.
Yes, the legislators who pushed the draconian laws have been recalled. But the law has not been repealed.
Warren isn't the only person to be caught in the Catch-22 style fiasco. Many Colorado sheriffs have stated that they will refuse to arrest people for violating the unjust law, but this isn't an arrest; it's the return of impounded property and the lawmen's hands are tied.
Read the article to learn the temporary, awkward way the contretemps was resolved. Yes, they did just what YOU would have done if you were the Sheriff.
