Frequently Asked Questions

What are the new requirements for obtaining a concealed carry permit in Colorado?

Effective July 1, 2025, Colorado requires an 8-hour course including classroom and range time, a written exam, and a live-fire exam with a passing score of 90% or better to get a concealed carry permit. Instructors must be verified by local sheriff's departments.

When does the new Colorado excise tax on firearms and ammunition take effect?

The proposed excise tax bill on firearms and ammunition is set to appear on the November ballot. If passed, the governor will determine its effective date. It would add a 6.5% tax on top of existing sales taxes.

What does the 'Sensitive Spaces' bill in Colorado prohibit?

The 'Sensitive Spaces' bill, effective July 1, 2024, prohibits carrying firearms in government buildings, polling places, schools, childcare facilities, and college campuses. Violations can result in a type one misdemeanor charge.

How will secure firearm storage in vehicles change in Colorado?

Starting January 1, 2025, unattended handguns in Colorado vehicles must be in a hard-locked container. Long guns can be in a soft container but must have a locking device on the trigger. The vehicle itself can serve as a locked container if secured.

What was the Supreme Court's reasoning for overturning the bump stock ban?

The Supreme Court ruled that bump stocks do not convert a semi-automatic rifle into a machine gun, as defined by federal law. They argued that a shooter must still depress the trigger for each shot, even if the bump stock facilitates rapid firing through recoil.
