Colorado CCW Classes

On May 18th 2003, Colorado became a "shall issue" State for CCW concealed carry permits. As long as you are not disqualified, the County of your residence Sheriff's department shall issue a permit to you.

The training requirement to obtain a Colorado concealed weapon permit CCW is very minimal. Most basic pistol or handgun safety classes fulfill the requirement. Does this really qualify you for the responsibility of having a firearm on your person and the ability to use it effectively? We think not.

Our Colorado CCW class is a comprehensive full day class that is approved by several States for CCW training. In addition to this class, we strongly recommend an advanced NRA class or the Combat Focus Shooting class if you plan on carrying a firearm.

A Colorado CCW permit is honored in 27 other states. This course is also approved for the Utah non-resident CCW permit which is honored by a few additional states that do not honor a Colorado CCW permit. Most students choose to get both. Colorado residents must have a Colorado CCW permit to carry a concealed firearm in Colorado.

Cost: $200
Course length: 8 Hours
Prerequisites: Basic Pistol or equivalent. Competent basic gun handling skills must be demonstrated.

Along with the right to carry a firearm comes a tremendous responsibility. Make sure you choose the right training! Spend at least as much on firearms training as you do on the firearm, and take courses as often as you can!
