Food for thought (with a very big grain of salt): SB25-003 allows “ARMORED VEHICLE BUSINESSES” to circumvent all requirements to own, purchase and sell semi auto firearms.

This kicked off one hell of a thought: toss a safe in your trunk, register a business license and write up a business plan and suddenly you’re an “armored-vehicle business” — free pass to buy semiautos, right?

Reality check: the bill’s text carves out armored-vehicle businesses as an exemption, but it doesn’t redefine Colorado law to mean “anyone with an armored compartment”

True, Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) doesn’t list a standalone “armored-vehicle business” license, and SB25-003 is written as a narrow, institutional carve-out, not a DIY workaround.

Could someone try to build a legitimate business around the carve-out — with the right insurance, entity paperwork, and licenses — and seek to rely on the exemption? Maybe.

It is still a long shot and a legal thicket: dealers, sheriffs, insurers and courts will expect bona fide operations and real on-duty use, not a weekend trunk project. In short: the idea is fun to argue, but who’s willing to test (ahem: to risk it) in practice.

That being said, as a law abiding gun owner, I don’t try to sneak around the statute — fight it the right way. Here’s how to push back legally and effectively:

• Find and contact your state legislator and demand a clear definition of “armored-vehicle business” in follow-up legislation or guidance.

• Ask DORA for administrative guidance on whether any existing license covers armored transport or security operations, and push for a formal rule if the gap worries you.

• Work with a firearms-law attorney to consider a challenge or clarification suit if the carve-out is being applied inconsistently.

• Organize local business owners (armored couriers, security firms, banks) and get them to testify — real commercial use is the clearest basis for changing or preserving exemptions.

Bottom line: ambiguous law creates pressure points — use them for advocacy, not as a loophole. Call your rep,  DORA, get a lawyer if you’re serious, and let the courts or legislature sort the rest.

It was a good provoking thoughts though.
