Gun Disposal

How to get rid of a gun you don't want.

I had a new situation come up this week and I thought I would create a post because this will surely come up again. If you're like my client's, you have a gun in your home that you no longer want. You might have bought it under different circumstances than you're living now or you inherited or were gifted this gun in the past and you don't want it any longer.

I'm here to help you get rid of things you don't want in your life.

I understand why a GUN is one of them.

1. Run a background check on anyone you are thinking of giving or selling a gun to for $15-$25 through Colorado Bureau of Investigation- Records Check. They will make you register to use their site and enter a CC #.

From Colorado Bureau of Investigations Site:

What information does a criminal history check consist of?
"Criminal history data is based on fingerprint submissions from law enforcement agencies within the State of Colorado. CBI is not allowed to disclose information from other state or federal databases. Sealed records are not released to the public. Warrant information and criminal arrest information regarding juveniles is not released to the public by the CBI, but some such records may be released to the public by the arresting agency, the agency that filed the case or the court. "

2. If you don't want the gun to exist anymore: i.e. you think there are too many guns in the "wrong hands" or you don't believe in using guns, you can take it to a police station and they will melt it down. *Note: Call (their NON-EMERGENCY LINE) first to make sure your police station does this AND is okay with you traveling with the gun to get to them.
