Colorado: Anti-Gun Bills Continue to Move through the State Legislature

Two anti-gun bills continue to move in the Colorado State Legislature. HB24-1174, introduced by Majority Leader Monica Duran (D-HD 23), is set to be heard next week in the House Finance Committee and HB24-1310, introduced by Rep. Jennifer Parenti (D-HD 19), is set to be heard by the House Education Committee on March 14th. 

HB24-1174, increases the training requirements for concealed carry permit applicants and requires class instructors to be certified by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. This legislation is a solution in search of a problem, meant to harass gun owners and instructors by arbitrarily raising the qualification standards and likely the costs, despite not showing any existing deficiency in the current training standards. HB24-1174 will be heard in the House Finance Committee on Monday, March 4th at 1:30 p.m. Please use the button below to contact committee members and urge them to OPPOSE HB24-1174!

HB24-1310, strips teachers and other school professionals of their ability to carry a concealed firearm on school grounds. Armed school personnel can act as first responders and robbing them of the ability to protect their students and coworkers only makes schools less safe. This bill also ends the very successful FASTER Colorado program, and bans carry on college campuses. This legislation fails to offer any solutions in the ongoing effort to secure our schools but removes safeguards and deterrents to those wishing to do harm. This legislation is scheduled to be heard in the House Education Committee on March 14th at 1:30 p.m. Please use the button below to contact committee members and urge them to OPPOSE HB24-1310!
