1. Can I do my handgun training on-line?: No. We cannot accept any training that has been done solely on-line. You must have hands-on training from a NRA certified instructor.

2. Is there such a thing as being “grandfathered in”?: No. The Colorado State Statute clearly states that every Sheriff’s Department must determine whether or not the applicant has had sufficient training in order to obtain a CCW/CHP.

3. If I have a gun, do I have to obtain a CCW/CHP?: No. You do not need a permit if the gun stays in your home or in your own vehicle. Colorado recognizes a personal vehicle as being an extension of your home. You also do not need a permit if you carry your weapon unconcealed.
