    Colorado AR laws?

    I am considering a move to Colorado. Is there anything I need to know about their gun laws:
    Waiting periods?
    Concealed carry?
    AR15 restrictions?
    Magazine restrictions?
    A generally hostile gun government?
    Thanks...

    Just have to wait for the background check to go through

    Concealed carry?
    Easy to get. Take a class and then apply with your sheriff's office. Takes a few months to get it back though.

    AR15 restrictions?
    Denver has magazine restrictions but that is the only place in the state that has any limitations.

    Magazine restrictions?

    A generally hostile gun government?
    Fairly friendly towards guns. All NFA items are legal here, although depending on where you live you might have trouble getting a CLEO to sign off on them.

    Thanks...


    Hope that helps

    Colorado is a good place to be a gun owner and a great place overall to live.

    As mentioned, the city of Denver has a few hiccups but nothing too major. NFA is legal in the state and concealed carry is popular.

    The City of Denver, has an "Assault Weapons" ban. Do not live in Denver!

    Other than Denver, Colorado is good for gun ownership.

    +1 On what these guys said. An dont live in Denver! The ranges out here are awesome, its more like designated shooting areas in the woods where I am.

    Background checks on buying firearms usually take between 15 and 45 minutes.

    No problems with AR or SBR's

    When you get here, let us know. There are some really good gun stores and a few in-door ranges for you to visit.

    Live in Denver and learn to love 20rnd mags!

    The best place I've seen in practice for CCW- very few annoying signs.

    FYI here are the basics on Denver's shitty "Assault Weapons Ban".

    (1) Assault weapon shall include all firearms with any of the following characteristics:

    a. All semiautomatic action, centerfire rifles with a detachable magazine with a capacity of twenty-one (21) or more rounds.

    b. All semiautomatic shotguns with a folding stock or a magazine capacity of more than six (6) rounds or both.


    c. Reserved.

    d. Any firearm which has been modified to be operable as an assault weapon as defined herein.

    e. Any part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a firearm into an assault weapon, including a detachable magazine with a capacity of twenty-one (21) or more rounds, or any combination of parts from which an assault weapon may be readily assembled if those parts are in the possession or under the control of the same person.
