| Am I reading this right and my Florida permit is no longer valid here as I am a resident of the start of CO and not FL? |

From here ---->www.rmgo.org/ccwguide/ As a resident of Colorado, can I use my Florida/Utah concealed carry permit to carry in Colorado? NO (changed as of 6/2007, due to SB07-34) As simply as we can put it: a non-resident Florida/Utah permit (a permit issued by Utah or Florida to an applicant who is not a resident of that state) is no longer valid in Colorado. A Florida/Utah permit to carry in any other state that allows non-resident permits might be valid, but not in Colorado. Florida and Utah are states that issues "non-resident" permits (Colorado law does not authorize a sheriff to issue a non-resident permit). This new law, which we stridently opposed, says that for a non-Colorado permit to be valid in Colorado, that permit must be from a state which has a reciprocity agreement with Colorado, and (here's where the new law adds a criteria) that permit holder must be a resident of the state that issued the permit. That also means that for a Utah or Florida carry permit to be valid, the person carrying that permit must be from the state that issued the permit. As a resident of New York (or any state that does not issue CCW permits), can I use my Florida/Utah concealed carry permit to carry in Colorado? NO (changed as of 6/2007, due to SB07-34) Florida and Utah are states that issues "non-resident" permits (Colorado law does not authorize a sheriff to issue a non-resident permit). This new law, which we stridently opposed, says that for a non-Colorado permit to be valid in Colorado, that permit must be from a state which has a reciprocity agreement with Colorado, and (here's where the new law adds a criteria) that permit holder must be a resident of the state that issued the permit.
