i was hoping somebody could give me a referral or link to the place where i could read colorado law or code regarding non resident concealment, if any, of weapons.
i was told by several folks i asked that as a land owner in CO but a resident of IA i could apply for a non resident permit that would allow concealed carry. when my dad was out at his CO place earlier this month the fremont county sheriff told him that wasn't true, but wasn't able to cite code or law. have i been misinformed, or did i misunderstand something here? any guidance would be greatly appreciated. thanks, michael FREE COLORADO!

Get an Iowa permit if you are a resident of Iowa. Colorado has reciprocity with Iowa. You have to be a resident of Colorado in order to apply for a Colorado permit, with the exception being active duty military stationed in Colorado and their immediate family members.

You can get a non-resident CCW permit from any number of states. Colorado does not recognize non-resident permits for purposes of reciprocity. The only permits Colorado recognizes for carry within Colorado are Colorado permits for Colorado residents (or PCS military in Colorado), and reciprocity state permits, for residents of the state which issued that permit. |

OK... gotcha.
i was given bad information by a sheriff. i knew i should have read the colorado law and/or code. i have an IA permit to carry. i knew CO offered reciprocity. however... i was informed by a sheriff that while my IA permit was valid in CO, it was ONLY valid for the purposes of OPEN CARRY. then he went onto say i could attain a colorado non resident permit so i could conceal while in CO. i think he got some things mixed up. if i understand the law correctly, you can legally open carry without a permit unless disallowed by law/code in certain areas. at least i thought i read that correctly. so essentially, with an IA permit that is valid i can conceal when in CO just like at home. sorry for the confusion guys. i knew better than to take the word of a fellow without reading it myself, so that was why i raised the question. THANK YOU! -michael |

You got the open carry right. Its an issue because places like Denver county have islands of jurisdiction you wouldn't believe.

Not to hijack a thread, but it sounds like I'm out of luck carrying in Colorado?
I'm licensed in NY, currently have Non-resident permits for Florida, Utah, Penn and Arizona. I'm planning an upcoming trip to Arizona and checked the US carry map and it seems I'm SOL with Colorado? |

However, you can still carry a loaded handgun in your vehicle without a permit in Colorado. |

If you want answers, read the law yourself, then consult an attorney if you still have questions. Also, yes your IA permit is valid here, but make sure you understand CO cc law, because it may differ from IA law. You must follow the laws of the state you are in, yada yada yada. |

However, you can still carry a loaded handgun in your vehicle without a permit in Colorado. Another question from a NY resident who has Arizona and NH as non-res permits. I understand I am not able to conceal carry, as NY does not reciprocate with CO so in return CO doesn't acknowledge NY... But can I legally open carry? I will be in the woods on an archery hunting trip and the purpose for carry would be for personal protection. Thanks! |

Resurrecting the thread to summarize. I'll be visiting CO this summer and want to make sure I understand the law as CO doesn't recognize my state's permit.
No CO permit is required to:
A large-capacity magazine (greater that 15 rounds) is OK if it was owned prior to July, 1 2013. Have I missed or misinterpreted anything? |

All our mags are 10 or less coming from NY so I can't help you there... ~This coming from a NY resident who holds NY, NH, and AZ permits... ETA/ I am going on a week+ long elk archery hunt and plan to bring my side arm. For protections purposes... No stops though, straight through to our departure location and into the woods for a while so its not like I am going to be strolling around shopping centers etc.

It's not protected in this state and is up to the municipalities to regulate there are several cities that have bans on it. Most are in the Denver area but some are in the country. Some are implied but not enforced. It's a mess denver is the only one who will outright charge anyone that I know of Also keep in mind that denver city and county has several odd peninsulas and islands of territory even the locals hardly know about. Denver also has a 20 round mag limit Reguardless of when they were purchased but it's only been enforced for residents of Denver. There might still be an exception for the pre 1994 registered owners. They've changed this several times. Any means of conveyance. Vehicles. Horse. Bicycles etc Rifles and shotguns in a vehicle cannot be chambered. Muzzle loaders cannot be primed No permit needed to conceal while in the act of legally hunting. No permit needed to conceal on private property with permission from the owner. This includes buisinesses and any place you've rented i.e. hotel room but not common areas. No duty to inform leo but it is considered courteous to do so. |
