Training That Meets Colorado Requirements

Colorado concealed carry training has changed. Whether you are applying for your first permit or renewing an existing permit, your class should do more than give you a piece of paper.

A good class should help you understand safe handgun handling, Colorado law, use of force, conflict avoidance, storage, transportation, and the responsibilities that come with carrying a concealed handgun.

Training is provided through Have Gun Will Train Colorado, with instruction from Rick Sindeband, a certified firearms instructor serving students across Southern Colorado.

What Colorado Students Need to Know

Colorado does not treat concealed carry training as a casual online certificate. Current training requirements include in-person instruction, live-fire shooting, and a written concealed handgun competency exam.

That means students should choose a class that covers both the mechanical side of handgun safety and the legal side of carrying a firearm for self-defense.

Important: If you are renewing a permit, do not wait until the last minute. Sheriff offices can become backed up, and your training certificate must meet Colorado timing requirements.
