The Colorado House of Representatives passed a bill Saturday that would require a three-day waiting period to purchase firearms
The bill calls for a three-day waiting period between the time a background check is initiated or when the purchase is approved following any background check.
Sellers who fail to comply will face a civil infraction punishable by a $500 fine for the first offense and a $500 to $5,000 fine for subsequent offenses. Opponents of the bill cite research that suggests waiting periods have a limited impact on reducing firearm suicides and homicides. The waiting period would not apply to antique firearms. It also exempts the transfer of a firearm between an active duty military servicemember who is set to deploy overseas and their family.
