Gun Show Vendor

Certification of Compliance

As a vendor of firearms or firearm components at the gun show operated by
[promoter's name] to be held [date or dates of gun show] in [city or town, if
applicable], _______ county, Colorado, I certify to the promoter of the gun show
that:

I am a federal firearms licensee and I am permitted by the state of Colorado
to sell firearms at retail.

I will display a copy of the federal license and state permit at my booth at the
gun show.

I have never been convicted of illegal activity involving firearms.

I will ensure that all firearms and frames or receivers of firearms sold by me
at the gun show will be preceded by a background check of the purchaser and
comply with the three-day waiting period required in state law.

I will display and offer for sale or transfer ammunition in compliance with any
applicable state or federal law.

I will not sell or transfer any weapons or ammunition that I am prohibited
from selling pursuant to federal or state law, including, but not limited to:

Ammunition magazines that allow for more than 15 rounds of ammunition;

Firearms that have fixed magazines that allow for more than 15 rounds of
ammunition;

Firearms or frames or receivers of a firearm, including unfinished frames or
receivers, that are unserialized; and

Dangerous weapons, as defined in section 18-12-102, C.R.S., and illegal
weapons, as defined in section 18-12-102, C.R.S., unless the transferee presents a
valid permit for possession of the weapon.

Furthermore, I am aware of additional prohibited items in the city or town and
county in which the gun show will be held, and I will not engage in the sale of those
items.

I understand that if I sell prohibited items or conduct sales in dangerous or
illegal weapons without the transferee presenting a valid permit, I may be subject
to criminal penalties under federal, state, or local laws and may be prohibited from
participating in future gun shows in the state of Colorado.
