Oh Happy Day!

[dross]

I'm legal again!

I moved back to Colorado from Indiana, and now, after the wait for residency, and the wait to get into a class (required here) and the wait for an appointment to apply, and then the wait for approval, my CCW is here!

The wait has been mitigated somewhat, since you can carry here on your person in your car and place of business without a permit.

Once again, armed and dangerous.

Great news Dross! I would love to have a .308 and a week in Colorado.

What a racket! Glad you survived that obnoxious arbitrary waiting period.

Good deal man!

I just got back from So. Dakota and it felt odd having to lock the gun away to go through Illinois and Iowa. I've worn a gun out in public for so long that whenever I can't I feel naked. Not threatened per se, just that something is missing.

Congrats

I'm legal again!

So does that mean you were carrying illegally?

 

[Stschil]

OMG, Colorado! You can hunt with "real" rifles there. Or do I heard.....

Congrats on your ability to 'sport your iron' again....

Congrats



So does that mean you were carrying illegally?

That is an inappropriate question to ask on a public forum don't you think!
The only folks that the answer to that question would interest aren't dross's friends.
We all "suspect" these forums get some monitoring from big brother why do we continue to give them reason to hang around?

Congrats dross, my daughter lives in Colo Springs, we want to move there, how much for the permit and classes? Also if you were technically still an Indiana res your LTCH would be still good....

 

[Mr. Habib]

Does CO offer a nonresident license?

I live in El Paso county, same as the Springs. In Colorado, each county sheriff issues the license. Our sheriff is very, very gun friendly. He's the only sheriff in the State that I'm aware of, that doesn't charge the maximum allowable one hundred dollars. In our county, it costs sixty dollars. So, when you add it all up, it cost me:

50 background check fee
62 county costs
75 mandatory training
187 total

The license is good for five years, the training for ten.

Does CO offer a nonresident license?

Nope, nor does CO recognize non resident licenses from other states.

Congrats on the new license. If you get a chance some Sunday go to the Broadmoor for brunch. Some good eats.

Warning: Blasphemy ahead: I don't (and can't) carry every day... And I don't always feel like wearing my M&P (J-frame gets carried more), but if I CAN carry and for whatever reason I don't; I completely understand the "something's missing". I don't feel threatened; I just feel unsettled as I realize my unpreparedness. That's when I remind myself of the "odds". Odds are good, very good actually, that nothing will happen.

Not that the fees are all that much different than they are here in IN... But there's a good chance that you can blame "Boulder" and all the granola eaters for the difficulty / reluctance at which things are done there.

Okay, so I now officially hate you starting on Christmas Eve! Thanks a lot!

Glad you made it back to the RMW, we are looking forward to our escape from the Midwest. (Sorry for any offense folks)

It was a joke. From reading Dross's posts I think he is more than intelligent to not answer if he was.

Welcome to CO. Glad you found a training class for less than $100. I think trainers here charge way to much. Don't know if you shoot IPSC but if you do that would have counted as training. That's what I did.

How long did your permit take? Mine took just over 30 days I think.
