So I submitted my CO CCW application the other week (about a week ago), and now I'm waiting. I was told up to 90 days by the sheriff, but I have a few quick questions.
1) Is that time accurate? 2) How might I track my application? 3) How will I be notified? As far as I know, my first notice will be my permit in the mailbox. 4) Any tips? 5) I'm still looking for a holster. Lefty IWB glock holster. Any suggestions? EDIT: El Paso County. |

How about you tell us which county you applied in? That would be a good place to start. yes 90 days is average. # 3 : Someone from the sheriffs office will contact you. # 4 : be patient, everyone want's their permit ASAP. Unfortunately the state / County sheriff dept's seem to allocate 1 possibly 2 people to handle the overwhelming applications. #5 http://www.hbartactical.com/ For a holster i'd try this guy. He's a CO resident, does nice work, casual guy and most of all decent turn around time. He is a 1 man small business. I have 2 IWB's, clip style and 1 pancake high ride . My daily is the IWB for the J frame. Think the spouse has absconded the G26 IWB |

Why not call them and ask how long they think it will take?? 719-520-7249
I found this posted on their site: *All Concealed Handgun Permits with Sheriff Maketa’s signature are still valid until the expiration date. If you would like a new permit with Sheriff Elder’s signature on it, please call 719-520-7249.* I wonder why! LOL!! |
| I know Adams county is one of the counties that takes the full 90. I got mine in late 2007 and it was the case even then. When I renewed it was a MUCH easier process. I also moved at one point within the county and an address change was problem free. Seems some of these counties want to make it a bit more difficult than others, then again the workload may actually take 90 days. |

I originally got my permit in 1995 (yes that's correct) in El Paso County. They were issuing them a long time before the current state law was implemented.
I moved to Pueblo West in 2005 and was told as long as I remain a resident of Colorado I'm welcome to keep renewing my permit with them in El Paso County. Of course if I wanted to get one from Pueblo County I could but I would have to start from scratch and apply for a whole new permit. Something to keep in mind if you move within the state. |

Actually I think you lost the ability to renew in any county other than your county of residence under a bill passed a year or two ago. |

I'll have to look into it well before my next renewal. Don't want to have to go without. Thanks for the heads up. |

It's all there info wise at any county sheriffs web site. Due to House Bill 14-1166 that went into effect March 14, 2014, you must submit a concealed handgun permit application (new and renewal) to the county sheriff's office where you reside, own property, or own a business. Also you can apply for renewal up to 120 days before expiration. It is the applicant's responsibility to submit for renewal of concealed handgun permit within 120-days before the expiration date on the permit card. If your permit is more than six months expired you must begin the process with a new application, to include submitting the $100 new application fee. FWIW: We've had our permits since 90  Wayyy back when. Like you weld was one of 2-3 counties that had Sensible Sheriffs.

I checked into this and it's not like it used to be. Used to be if you changed counties you had to go through the whole process again from scratch and get a new permit. Now they have it to where your current permit can be renewed in a different county than originally issued. The only reason I kept it in EPCO was I didn't want to have to start over. Looks like they actually made a law that makes sense (for once) |

If you don't already have it by now, you should soon. It's not going to take 90 days unless there is a problem. In El Paso county it fluctuates a little but you're looking at about 6 weeks.
90 day wait is not "average". 90 days is the legal amount of time that the Sheriff's office has. Legally past that time, you can demand that they give you the permit while they finish processing the application. Don't bug them, they will get it processed as soon as they can. Bugging them about it isn't going to help. I like my G-code Incog holster for my glock 19. Worn nothing else for the last 2 years. |
