Colorado HB-1180 (Brady Bypass Bill) has passed both Houses, call Gov Ritters office now!
Per the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Club website
5/08/2009 - The Brady Bypass bill, HB1180 by Rep. Steve King and Senator Greg Brophy, has passed the House and Senate, and is heading for Governor Ritter’s desk.
The bill survived a battle in the Senate, where anti-gun lobbyists and legislators tried to amend the bill to require a statewide database of permit holders.
Due to the heroic defense of the bill by Sen. Greg Brophy — who called the legislation a mere pre-approval, since concealed carry permit holders have already undergone an extensive background check — the bill stayed true to the intent of the original bill.
Senate Democrats did manage to change the bill with two amendments:
- Standardizing the look of an actual permit. Though this is not something we wanted, it’s not a deal killer.
- Requiring a second form of ID to utilize the Brady Bypass feature. Again, no reason to kill the bill.
The process for buying a firearm would not change for a non-permit holder: to buy a new firearm through a dealer (or even a privately sold firearm at a gun show) the purchaser would still be required to undergo an illegal Brady Registration Check (don’t think that’s unconstitutional? Read Article II Section 13 of the Colorado Constitution, which says the “…right of no person to keep and bear arms….shall be called into question…”).
For a valid Colorado Concealed Carry Permit Holder who is buying a firearm, the process is quite a bit streamlined, though permit holders will be required to have a permit issued after January 2010 (with the new “standardized” look). They will simply present their CCW permit (again, only Colorado permits allow you to bypass) to a dealer, and they’ll skip the wait of a Brady Check (though there are still requirements to fill out the BATFE’s 4473 form).
What you can do:

Thats a great article, thanks for writing it. I’ve saved your website and will be eager to reading more!
howdy remarkable little site you have there
I utilize the very same web theme on my own website although for whatever odd issue it seems to load easier on this blog despite the fact that this blog is carrying far more content material. Are you using any specific plug ins or widgets that will speed it up? If you might be able to reveal the plug ins so I could use them on my own webpage so twilight breaking dawn fans could watch twilight breaking dawn online trailers and films easier I’d be ever so thankful – kudos ahead of time 
Not using any particular plug-in for speeding up. As a matter of fact I’m not even using a cache program.
