Concealed Handgun Permit – Colorado
Colorado Senate Bill SB24-1174, signed into law in 2024, focuses on enhancing the training requirements for individuals seeking concealed carry permits in the state. Beginning on July 1, 2025, this law mandates that applicants for a concealed handgun permit must complete a comprehensive training course that includes at least eight hours of in-person instruction. The course must cover various topics, such as safe handling and storage of firearms, shooting fundamentals, state and federal firearm laws, and proper interactions with law enforcement.
One key requirement is the inclusion of a live-fire exercise and a written exam, both of which must be passed to complete the training. The law also stipulates that training courses must be taught by instructors verified by a county sheriff, with strict guidelines on who can qualify as a verified instructor. Additionally, the law imposes a five-year prohibition on issuing permits to individuals convicted of certain misdemeanors.
National Preparedness Month is a great time to take small steps to make a big difference in being prepared. Getting yourself, your family and your home ready for emergencies like:Â
- home fires
- power outagesÂ
- local floodsÂ
- wildfiresÂ
- flash flooding
- hurricanes and more.
We all have responsibilities for our families, pets, neighbors and communities. By taking steps now, you can be in control of both your safety and those you care about before, during and after a disaster. Think about what you’ll need and how the people in your social circles can help each other. A great place to start is by knowing the risks where you are. Then, make a plan and build an emergency supply kit to help keep yourself and those you love safe and comfortable during and after a disaster. Finally, get involved by keeping up to date with your community’s emergency and disaster plan and working with neighbors to prepare.
When making your plans, make sure you consider any unique needs of those you care for, whether it be medical conditions, loved ones with disabilities, your pets, and any neighbors who might need help getting prepared.
