Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has begun implementation of a sweeping gun licensing scheme passed by the legislature last year, beginning with a series of meetings around the state. The new gun rights restrictions mandate extensive training and permitting requirements prior to purchasing of any semi-automatic firearm after Aug 1, 2026.

As part of their process, CPW has scheduled a series of state-wide meetings starting in February to get feedback on the law and its implementation.

The Department of Revenue will soon provide a list of firearms subject to the requirements, while CPW gears up to hold their first Firearms Dealer Stakeholder Meeting on Feb. 9.
