So my bil wants to get a concealed carry permit, he is in Grand Junction. What are the steps for getting the permit? Are there any good gun stores in the area?

Try here for informationhttp://coloradocarry.com. Click on the discusion forums too.



IIRC I downloaded an appliction from the country sheriff and went from there.



You will have to complete a NRA basic pistol course. Make sure to get a certificate and a copy of the instructors license. If you have any local gunshows there are usually some people there to ask about training.



You can also go the the NRA's website and start from there.



Also http://co-ar15.com go to the CCW Issues section. They also have some western slope members.

As far as gun shops I believe there is a Pawn Shop that has an FFL in GJ. You will have to search this out as I don't know any more than that. Somebody here should know more.

    Gene Taylor's used to be the big store. I was last there when they move to the wqest side of town from downtown. They may still be around.

I live here.

Go to the sheriffs office and get the required paperwork for the CCW.

We have some GREAT places to buy guns.  IM me and I'll elaborate further.

Is your BIL on here?
