Gun Laws In Colorado
Changes in California gun laws. Could that affect the laws in Colorado?
Gun control advocates are calling it a victory in California.
A United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that California firearms owners have NO constitutional right to carry a concealed gun in public. Officials are now to only grant permits to those individuals who face a specified danger.
What would happen if that type of decision was brought up for discussion and maybe even a vote by a U.S. Court here in Colorado? As of right now, according to Wikipedia:
Concealed carry[edit]
Colorado is a "shall-issue" state for concealed carry. Permits are issued by the county sheriff,[3] and are valid for five years. Applicants must demonstrate competence with a handgun, either by passing a training class or by other means.[4] The Concealed Carry Act allows a person with a permit to carry a concealed weapon "in all areas of the state" with the exception of some federal properties, K-12 schools, and buildings with fixed security checkpoints such as courthouses, and also disallows a local government from enforcing an ordinance or resolution that conflicts with the law.[5] In March 2012, the Colorado Supreme Court struck down the University of Colorado's campus gun ban, saying it violated the Concealed Carry Act.[5][6]
These laws are all pretty confusing. But, what are your thoughts about the gun laws here in Colorado.
