12		-	SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly
13		-	finds and declares that:
14		-	(a) Gun violence remains a significant threat to public safety in
15		-	Colorado, causing harm to individuals, families, and communities across the
16		-	state. Effectively addressing gun violence requires a comprehensive strategy
17		-	that includes both preventing illegal firearm transfers and ensuring
18		-	responsible ownership practices.
19		-	(b) Gun shows serve as important venues for the lawful sale and

23		-	through words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law and such material is not part of
24		-	the act. regulating the movement of firearms and preventing illegal trafficking.
25		-	While gun shows are lawful and cater primarily to responsible gun owners,
26		-	they can also provide opportunities for firearms to be transferred without
27		-	proper oversight, potentially leading to unlawful possession and misuse.
28		-	(c) It is essential for Colorado to implement strong regulatory
29		-	measures at gun shows to mitigate the risks associated with unregulated or
30		-	improper firearm transfers and the unlawful sale of large-capacity
31		-	magazines, including magazines that are designed to be readily converted
32		-	to accept more than 15 rounds of ammunition, and unserialized firearms or
33		-	frames or receivers of a firearm. The regulatory measures include the
34		-	requirement for gun show promoters and vendors to follow security
35		-	protocols, conduct background checks, and ensure firearms are stored and
36		-	handled safely.
37		-	(d) This legislation requires gun show promoters to develop and
38		-	implement security plans, secure liability coverage, and verify that firearms
39		-	are sold or transferred in compliance with state and federal laws. In
40		-	addition, vendors are required to comply with mandatory background
41		-	checks and adhere to federal, state, and local firearm laws and proper
42		-	firearm storage practices.
43		-	(e) By fostering responsible practices at gun shows, Colorado can
44		-	reduce the potential for illegal firearm trafficking and decrease the
45		-	likelihood that firearms will be misused in criminal acts or violence; and
46		-	(f) Reducing gun violence and ensuring the safe and lawful transfer
47		-	of firearms is a shared responsibility between the state, local governments,
48		-	and communities. This act represents a step toward ensuring the safety of
49		-	all Coloradans, while balancing the rights of responsible gun owners.
50		-	(2) Therefore, the general assembly declares that regulating gun
51		-	shows to ensure the safety, security, and lawful transfer of firearms is of
52		-	both local and statewide concern, aimed at reducing gun violence and
53		-	promoting responsible firearm ownership practices throughout Colorado.

	56	+	offense is a class 1 misdemeanor and, in addition to a criminal penalty,
	57	+	the promoter is prohibited from acting as a gun show promoter for 5
	58	+	years.
	59	+	The bill prohibits a person from participating in a gun show as a
	60	+	gun show vendor if the person is not a federal firearms licencee, does not
	61	+	hold a valid state firearms dealer permit, has been convicted of a second

	65	+	vendor is a class 2 misdemeanor; except that a second or subsequent

	67	+	Before participating in a gun show, a gun show vendor is required
	68	+	to certify to the gun show promoter that the vendor satisfies the
	69	+	requirements to be a gun show vendor and will comply with federal, state,
	70	+	and local laws while participating in the gun show.
	71	+	While participating in a gun show, a gun show vendor shall display
	72	+	copies of the vendor's federal firearms license and state firearms dealer
	73	+	permit, keep firearms unloaded and securely affixed to the vendor's
	74	+	countertop or wall, secure ammunition in an enclosed display case or
	75	+	behind the vendor's counter or other customer access prevention device,
	76	+	and include with each sold firearm written information describing secure
	77	+	storage and lost or stolen firearm reporting requirements in state law.
	78	+	Unlawful gun show vendor activity is a class 2 misdemeanor; except that
	79	+	a second or subsequent offense is a class 1 misdemeanor and the person
	80	+	is prohibited from participating as a vendor at a gun show.
	81	+	The bill maintains the requirement in existing law that a gun show
	82	+	vendor conduct a background check for each firearm transfer at a gun
	83	+	show.
