Pretty broad question?? If you'd be more specific, I'm sure you would get answers.

The actual city of Denver in not too friendly on assult style weapons.  Boulder allows them but they are not gun friendly in general and have a strange law on the books that recently passed that states that if you carry a firearm in a case, it must be recognized as a gun case or you are required to write "Gun" on the outside.  Make's no sense at all but this is Boulder and they are all freaks of nature and tree huggers.

As for Colorado in general, good state.  It is a shall issue state for CCW.  NFA items are allowed.  

I think you are approaching this in the correct manner.  Before I would ever relocate to a new state, I would want to understand the laws and if it is gun friendly state.  Colorado is.  Many other states will never get my money based on their anti-gun stance.  For example, California is a state I moved from back in 1980 and at that time it was impossible to live with the rules then.  Now, forget it....

Good luck on your decision.

Colorado is pretty gun friendly. I moved from Dallas to Boulder and I haven’t noticed any difference in the laws (get to keep my NFA items). It is also much more fun to shoot up in the mountains than the barren waste land of Texas.

I think CO got a 90% out of 100% (1-100, 1 being the least amount of firearms freedom, 100 being the most freedom) in The Travelers Guide to the Firearms Laws of the 50 States, Illinois got a 30% (even CA got a 40%)

*No permit for handguns, no waiting period, no limit, open carry okay
*shall issue CCW
*Rifle and shotgun ownership unrestricted
*NFA no state restrictions
*No AWB
*lots of land to shoot on
*Pro-gun (R) senator, Fairly pro-gun (D) senator
*Alot of libtards I know shoot (wow)


All in all a very gun friendly place... 1 of my major reasons for moving here in the 1st place!

Which county are you considering?

Best of luck

Thanks for the info, I have an interview soon. It looks like a major step up from IL.
