Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main criticism of Colorado's SB25-003 firearm training?

The primary criticism of Colorado's SB25-003 firearm training is its significant lack of practical range time and specific shooting technique instruction. The 12-hour curriculum reportedly focuses heavily on classroom theory and handling replica firearms, which is seen as insufficient for effective firearm proficiency.

How does Colorado's SB25-003 training compare to concealed carry permit requirements?

Colorado's SB25-003 training for certain semi-automatic rifles is notably different from concealed carry permit requirements. Unlike SB25-003, concealed carry permit classes, expanded by HB24-1174, explicitly include mandatory range time and hands-on shooting experience, highlighting a perceived deficiency in the SB25-003 curriculum.

Are active duty military personnel exempt from Colorado's SB25-003 training?

No, active duty military personnel are not exempt from Colorado's SB25-003 rifle training requirements. This is a point of contention, as they are exempt from the training required for concealed carry permits, despite their regular exposure to firearms in their service.

What is the process to become eligible to purchase firearms under Colorado's SB25-003?

To become eligible under Colorado's SB25-003, individuals must apply via the CPW website, complete a third-party background check, and submit all documentation to their local Sheriff's Department. Upon approval, they can then enroll in the required 12-hour training course.
