The Colorado Statutes regarding CCW:
(1) Pursuant to the grant of authority in sections 30-10-523 and 31-4-112.1, C.R.S. the chief of police of a city or of a city
and county or the sheriff of a county may issue written permits to carry concealed weapons. A chief of police or sheriff who receives an application for a permit for a concealed weapon from a person who does not reside within the confines of his jurisdiction shall consult the chief of police or sheriff of the jurisdiction in which the applicant resides prior to issuing said permit. The chief of police or sheriff of the jurisdiction in which the application for a permit for a concealed weapon is made shall notify the chief of police or sheriff of the jurisdiction in which the applicant resides of the disposition of said application. Any such permit shall be effective in all areas of the state.
(2) A sheriff or chief of police shall make an inquiry, including a fingerprint check, into the background of an applicant for
a permit to carry a concealed weapon to determine if the applicant would present a danger to others or to himself or herself if the applicant is granted a permit. The sheriff or chief of police shall not be liable for any damages that may result from granting a permit, if the sheriff or chief of police, prior to granting a permit, requests a criminal history check of the applicant from the Colorado bureau of investigation, including a request to process the applicant's fingerprints. The Colorado bureau of investigation, upon request by a chief of police or sheriff, shall conduct a criminal history check of an applicant pursuant to this subsection (2), including but not limited to processing of fingerprints for state criminal history information and using fingerprints to access arrest history records that are maintained by the federal bureau of investigation in the United States department of justice. The cost of such check shall be borne by the applicant.
==============================
That said, how really difficult/easy is it to obtain a CCW in Colorado (assuming no background glitches)? Any TFL'ers live in Colorado and have a CCW permit?
Thanks in advance.
