New Colorado Gun Training Requirements …
New Colorado gun laws in 2024 and 2025, effective now and others in 2026, include:
- New CCW permit applicants must have completed at least an 8-hour approved course taught by a verified instructor within the last 12 months.
- Existing CCW permit renewals require at least a 4-hour approved course taught by a verified instructor within the last 6 months.
- Beginning in 2026, to purchase a semi-auto with a detachable magazine, a 12-hour course will be required before applying for a purchase authorization card. Those with a Colorado Hunter Safety card will have a reduced 8-hour course requirement.
We plan to begin offering the outstanding, modular format NRA CCW Student course again this fall in the following versions to meet and exceed these training requirements:
- 08-Hour course for new permit applicants
- 04-Hour course for permit renewal
- 12-Hour course for gun buyers
- 16-Hour premium course for those wanting to “Do this right!”
The NRA CCW Student course delivered in its full, 16-hour plus version across two days of training includes far more than just the minimum curriculum and range session required and is intended to meet all of the above requirements.
