Gun Laws in Colorado??
Hello all,
I am moving from AZ to CO, I am wondering what the laws are there. Can I take my guns there? And what I mean is, here in AZ I can buy guns and do not need to register them, so all my guns have been bought from private parties and although Federally legal to own here, are they there? 1 RIA 1911 1 Arcus 9mm 1 .22 rifle So we are not talking about AK-47's, Uzi's, or AR-15's... I already sold all those. lol I found this, http://crime.about.com/od/gunlawsbys...gunlaws_co.htm does this still sound accurate? |

No registration
No waiting No purchase license (a la FOID) No purchases per month limit CCW is shall issue No bans beyond federal limits You might want to check out these sites: http://www.cssa.org/portal/news.php http://www.rmgo.org/ (They have a good summary of CO gun laws.) No problem I can think of with your collection. ETA: Your link looks up to date on the laws. Last edited by kkb; February 17, 2009 at 04:02 PM. |

IIRC- there was some stipulation about being in the city of Denver with weapons. I drove through a few times , and just happened to have a loaded 45 in the console. No problems, but Police dont have x ray vision either.

Actually, CO does have preemption. Unfortunately, it's not worth the paper it's written on. I'm not arguing with your point, though: Watch out if you're in Denver for any extended period of time.

Somehow, Denver sued and got an exception from a friendly court. http://www.courts.state.co.us/Media/...v3809order.pdf |

A handful of towns got open carry bans thanks to Denver's "leadership." I don't know if they used the same "home rule" argument.

Moving from Arizona to Colorado, you will still enjoy most of the freedoms that you are accustomed to. Places like Denver are the exception, not the rule.
Take it from me, you're still in gun-friendly country--I live in New Jersey!
