GETTING YOUR PERMIT TO CARRY IN COLORADO

Below I share with you my journey from being just an ordinary gun owner to getting my Concealed Handgun Permit years ago and the “why” of my starting the Concealed Carry Workshop. This article is about you getting your permit to carry in Colorado.

Colorado is a “Shall Issue” State: You do not have to provide a reason for wanting a permit, nor do you have to have the gun you intend to carry, or qualify with a firearm at a range. If local, state and federal law enforcementcan’t find a valid reason to deny your application, then the county sheriff “Shall Issue” you a permit.

Colorado requires you to submit a certificate for in-person fi****ms training completed within the last 10 years. You get to choose the “level” of the trainingas long it includes the required basics and is conducted (ie. the certificate is signed) by a certified instructor. Colorado does not accept “on-line” training
for concealed carry permits.

The application you fill out and take to your local sheriff looks very much like the form required to purchase a firearm. Attached to it will be your training certificate and fingerprint cards. You can usually have fingerprintcards completed at the sheriff’s office (be sure to check on this before you visit your local sheriff’s office, as they may only do fingerprinting at certain times).

The permit itself looks much like a driver’s license and when you have to go in to pick it up, they will take your photograph. Be aware, it may take several weeks before you will get the call to come in.

It is important to note that I provide the required training for concealed carry permits, but I do not (nor can any instructor) issue you your permit. In Colorado, it is your County Sheriff that issues all concealed carry permits. In addition, I have no way of finding out if there is any reason law enforcement would deny your individual application.

Get the training this week then apply for the permit anytime in the next 10 years! The BASIC training makes a great gift for someone that is hard to shop for.

Why Would Anyone WANT To Carry A Gun?

Actually the conversation began 5 years ago with, "So you bought another gun... don't you already have enough of them?" That was the question that Tina, my wife of 25 years, asked me. I tried to explain that this gun was "Special" and going to be my Every Day Carry (EDC) as it was "less noticeable" when openly carried.

That is when Tina asked, "Why would anyone WANT to carry a gun?" I thought about that for awhile before answering, "I don't want to carry a gun, but I do want to be able to protect you and the children." Good answer, I thought, and it seemed to smooth things over some, at least for awhile.

One day, after my leaving the house with my pistol in full view (called Open Carry), Tina said, "If you're going to carry that, you're going to get a Permit!" You see while Open Carry is legal in most of Colorado, it can make people uncomfortable when they see a gun in a public place, so I began looking into the Concealed Carry Requirements.

After a week doing research, then having to wait two weeks to get into a "class" all the way across Denver (that cost $100 AND left me with more questions than answers), I finally had the "Training Certificate" needed to submit my application to the Sheriff's Office the next week. It then took about 6 weeks before the call came saying that I'd been approved.

Even before my Permit was issued, I began looking for some REAL Training and found it with the United States Concealed Carry Association. During my Studies I realized that This Training should be offered to everyone that has made the decision to become more responsible for the protection of themselves and those they care about.

I started the Concealed Carry Workshop with a goal to provide not only the Required Training to obtain a Permit, but to offer Training that provides the Knowledge, Skills and Attitude to truly become Responsibly Armed Americans.
