Colorado: House Considering “Deny-On-Arrest” Legislation
Friday, April 09, 2010
The Colorado House of Representatives is currently considering legislation that would that would solidify an unconstitutional provision in the state’s background check system.
House Bill 1391, sponsored by State Representative Joe Rice (D-38), would extend a provision in state law that wasdue to sunset in July 2010. The provision the bill extends would deny gun purchases to those with an arrest on their record, even if they were never convicted.

Any comments? Innocent before proven guilty; anyone? How many of us would be rendered ineligible under HB 1391?
I heard this, first, last night on Fox 31 News. I about fell out of my seat.
This seems unfitting for the great State of Colorado.
