DENVER<\/strong> | In one of the largest shifts to gun purchasing laws in Colorado, residents who want to buy some of the most popular types of semiautomatic firearms will soon need to complete training through a new permit-to-purchase program.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

State officials say they are nearly ready to implement the new law. Starting Aug. 1, people will need to undergo a multi-step process to buy many semiautomatic firearms that accept magazines \u2014 \u200b\u200bsuch as AR- and AK-style rifles and pistols. It will include an eligibility review by a county sheriff, lengthy safety training with a firearm instructor and a written exam. Today someone can walk into a gun shop and buy the guns covered by the law without any training.<\/p>\n

It is a massive overhaul of how Coloradans purchase common firearms with few similarities elsewhere. Seven states currently have safety training requirements to buy or own some types of guns, according to a\u00a0\u00a0from Johns Hopkins University.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe looked at other other states and some of the laws that they had,\u201d said Dan Coil, Colorado Parks and Wildlife firearms safety project manager. \u201cSome of it was kind of parallel, but nothing really mirrored it. We were really on our own for this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democrats in the Legislature passed\u00a0Senate Bill 25-3\u00a0last year as one of the most restrictive gun regulations adopted in the state, following years of new laws regarding waiting periods, age restrictions and state licensing requirements for gun shops. It was introduced as an outright ban on semiautomatic firearms with detachable magazines to further enforce the state\u2019s prohibition on large-capacity magazines. But it was amended to allow people to purchase those guns if they complete the permit-to-purchase process. If someone does not undergo the training and testing, they could buy a gun covered by the law if it has a permanently attached magazine that meets the state\u2019s 15-round maximum, though that style of gun is less common. The law does not affect possession.<\/p>\n

It also bans so-called rapid-fire trigger devices that can make a semiautomatic weapon fire at a rate similar to an automatic gun.<\/p>\n

After Gov. Jared Polis signed the law, the implementation process was kicked down to state agencies. Much of the planning fell on CPW, which worked with other state industries, firearm instructors and gun store owners to map out the customer process and develop the safety course curriculum. Coil said the department started planning in November \u2014 when everything went into \u201cfast forward\u201d\u2014 and is set to launch the program when the law goes into effect.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m cautiously optimistic, though, because there\u2019s always going to be issues. Something will come up, I just don\u2019t know what,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Coil has spent most of this year on a public information blitz about the new law, hosting over a dozen meetings across the state outlining the requirements and speaking in person at any firearm store or shooting association that asks. He believes face-to-face interactions can be more effective.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest struggle is getting the correct information out there,\u201d he said. \u201cI need to be able to get out there and answer questions, talk to people about their concerns, about what this is and what this isn\u2019t. We\u2019re trying to reach all avenues we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lot of his work, he said, is combating persistent misinformation about the law, such as that CPW helped develop the list of guns affected, that it is an outright ban or that people will need to go through the permitting process to buy ammunition. That misinformation can be compounded by the highly political nature of gun regulations and the intense pushback it faced while it moved through the Legislature. The law is the subject of\u00a0ongoing litigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether you like this or not, it doesn\u2019t matter, but the truth of it is that it\u2019s a process before acquiring them. It\u2019s not an outright ban. That\u2019s just not true,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The new process<\/h2>\n

The Firearms Dealer Division within the state\u2019s Department of Revenue on July 1 released a\u00a0\u00a0that fall under the law. After feedback on a draft list the agency released in May, it removed 33 firearms from the initial list. That includes the Mauser M1916 model and the Fix Series from Q Firearms, both bolt-action rifles. It also took out the Ruger 10\/22 I-Tac Series, which had a \u201c????\u201d note on the May draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Division also recognizes that the Specified Semiautomatic Firearms Guidance provided in this document is not all-inclusive of firearms currently available, or that will be available in the future. As a result, the guidance document will be reviewed on an ongoing basis,\u201d the division wrote in a letter to the firearms industry.<\/p>\n

Prospective buyers will first need to submit an online application, which will go live on CPW\u2019s website July 20. That application heads to the buyer\u2019s local sheriff\u2019s office, but CPW advises checking with the sheriff to ensure they are accepting and processing applications. San Miguel County Sheriff Dan Covault wrote in an email that his office is planning to process only county residents\u2019 applications, since they will have \u201cinstitutional knowledge of the people applying,\u201d which will help maintain accountability.<\/p>\n

During a March CPW Commission meeting, Rio Blanco County Sheriff\u2019s Office Operational Officer Jeremy Muxlow warned that the administrative responsibility of reviewing background checks, going through applications and verifying approved training courses could become a problem for small offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a large urban agency with massive staff, maybe that\u2019s manageable. For small rural sheriff\u2019s offices, such as ours, covering thousands of square miles with limited deputies, it\u2019s a serious burden,\u201d he told commissioners. \u201cPolicies created in rooms like this will eventually become the problems sheriff deputies have to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the sheriff\u2019s office, a buyer will need to provide a name-based background check and identification card for that application to get processed. The sheriff will collect a $52 fee for CPW and any additional fee for administrative costs, depending on the county. Weld County, for example, decided not to impose a sheriff\u2019s fee, while Adams County plans to charge $50 for county residents and $100 for people outside the county.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur demand is probably going to go be pretty high, but we don\u2019t know what that looks like, if it\u2019s going to be a couple weeks (after Aug. 1), six months, or if it\u2019s going to be in flux since these cards are good for five years,\u201d Adams County Sgt. Shea Haney said. \u201cWe have no idea, so we\u2019re preparing for a large influx when this happens, and we\u2019re just going to be flexible in that process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheriff offices will then issue the buyer an eligibility card and enter that information into an online database that different entities can check throughout the process. The database will show whether someone gets an eligibility card and completed a course, and will be accessible by sheriffs, course instructors and firearms dealers. It won\u2019t track or show any purchasing data.<\/p>\n

Once someone gets an eligibility card, they can find an approved course. This is where the process splits: people who have taken a hunter education course certified by CPW will be eligible for a four-hour, basic firearm safety course. People without that hunter education will need to enroll in a 12-hour extended course. The law requires the extended class be taught over at least two days.<\/p>\n

Hunter education numbers have remained relatively steady since the law passed and there hasn\u2019t been a rush to complete that training to avoid the extended class. So far this year, 7,019 people passed hunter education, according to CPW numbers. During the same time frame in 2024 and 2025, 7,941 and 6,732 people passed, respectively.<\/p>\n

Unpredictable demand<\/h2>\n

CPW relied on an advisory panel of firearm instructors to develop those courses, and those instructors said a lot of the work was fitting aspects of existing classes into one big curriculum.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not reinventing the wheel,\u201d said panelist John Pashain, a Fort Collins instructor and owner of 7 Hills Security. \u201cIt is your basic safety knowledge for firearms and firearm handling. It follows many of the courses that are already out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The law specifies that the course must cover safe handling of semiautomatic firearms and ammunition, safe storage, child safety, firearm deaths associated with mental illness, extreme risk protection orders and victim awareness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all agreed that we needed to leave it open, that no matter who was going to teach this, we\u2019re teaching the same underlying principles and concepts, but it allows freedom for the instructor to teach it in their own way,\u201d said Cindy Coker, an instructor at Lakewood\u2019s Bristlecone Shooting on the panel.<\/p>\n

Students will need to pass a hands-on practical and written exam with at least a 90% score to become eligible to purchase a semiautomatic firearm. Eligibility will last five years.<\/p>\n

Pashain said that when he speaks with local gun stores and other instructors, they can\u2019t predict demand for the courses and what enrollment could look like, and they won\u2019t know until sheriff offices begin issuing eligibility cards. That makes scheduling tough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hearing from some people that they\u2019ll never take it, hearing from people that they\u2019re going to take it as soon as possible. Everything right now is speculation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As the owner of a firearms academy, Pashain said he also sees his role as providing people with accurate information about the law as it rolls out. He\u2019s helped host two information sessions, but repeatedly hears from people who are not aware of the upcoming changes. He\u2019s also been the target of frustration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been told that I\u2019m a Nazi, that I\u2019m a jack-booted thug, that I\u2019m assisting CPW in taking away gun rights of people, and that is the furthest from the truth,\u201d he said. \u201cA bill was passed. It will be law. If a course needs to be made and they are asking for help, I\u2019m going to do the best that I can to help \u2014 without politics, without individual opinions, and simply put out the best product possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owners of the more than 1,700 licensed gun stores in Colorado are uncertain about how the permitting program will affect their businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you look at purchase rates of the guns that are going to be regulated versus your typical handgun and your shotguns and things like that, the guns that are falling onto the list don\u2019t have as high a demand as guns that are not on the list,\u201d Coker said.<\/p>\n

There might have been an uptick in gun sales as SB-3 moved through the Legislature, as\u00a0sometimes happens\u00a0amid debates on new restrictions. There was an increase in background checks performed by the Colorado Bureau of Investigations for firearm transfers the month the bill was introduced, though that is not a perfect measure of actual gun purchases, does not differentiate which type of gun might have been sold and does not consider a potential buyer\u2019s reason for shopping.<\/p>\n

Background checks went from 30,289 in February 2025 to 40,050 in March 2025, when the Legislature passed the bill. The number of background checks per month hovered between 20,000 and around 25,000 for the rest of the year, before shooting up to 28,724 in December 2025, according to CBI statistics. In January and February this year, the only data currently available, there were 24,967 and 25,738 background checks, respectively.<\/p>\n

Wayne Price, the president of The Gun Room in Lakewood, said there was a sales bump last April but it didn\u2019t hold. The store\u2019s inventory is mostly consignment and doesn\u2019t fall under the list of restricted guns, but he still worries about the law\u2019s impact and potential dips in sales.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are blessed with the type of inventory we have. I have lots of revolvers. I\u2019ll be like, \u2018You want to protect yourself? Here\u2019s a revolver,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cBut what\u2019s going to happen on August 1 is that not a single person will be ready (to buy). How long will it take someone to get ready? How long will we go without sales before someone actually is?\u201d<\/p>\n
