Title says it all

Looking for recommendations on longer Rifle ranges 200 yards plus. Preferably something longer if it’s available. I live in Littleton for reference. I don’t mind driving 2ish hours or so!

With the legislature adjourning today does that mean SB26-043 is dead? Does anyone have any insight on this?

Is there an FFL or other location I can go to SBR a gun instead of doing it myself and possibly screwing it up?

If this isn’t allowed, feel free to take it down but I’m about to move to Fort Collins, CO from Roanoke, VA in July. I am interested in working at a dispensary with my roommates but I’m unsure if a Weed Employee Card would prevent me from getting my concealed carry permit there or even prevent me from owning a firearm altogether. I quit smoking marijuana a long time ago but the job pays well and is much easier than what I do now.

Federally, I know marijuana is a schedule 1 drug and you can’t smoke weed or have a medical marijuana card while you own a firearm and a concealed carry permit

but does having a weed industry work permit mean I necessarily partake in it?

Obviously I wouldn’t conceal my firearm at work I’m just asking if it’s possible to have your cake and eat it too

Below is Rep. Titone's response to me regarding SB-043

"Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns about SB26-043. I appreciate you taking the time to outline your perspective and concerns regarding this topic. I understand your concerns that this bill may place additional requirements on federally licensed firearms dealers and law-abiding gun owners. These are important considerations, and I take seriously the responsibility to ensure that any legislation we pass is both effective and respectful of constitutional rights.

That said, I am in support this bill because it is designed to address specific gaps in how certain critical firearm components such as barrels are transferred. While firearms themselves are subject to existing regulations, key components can sometimes be acquired through less regulated channels. This bill seeks to create more consistency and accountability in those transactions, which law enforcement has identified as an area of concern in preventing illegal firearm assembly and trafficking.

Regarding record keeping, the intent is not to create a broad or intrusive registry, but to ensure that transfers conducted through licensed dealers are documented in a way that supports accountability and responsible commerce. Similar record keeping requirements already exist in other areas of firearm sales, and they play a role in helping investigations when firearms are used unlawfully.

Many of the public safety measures we legislate are designed to work collectively by closing gaps, strengthening oversight, and reducing opportunities for misuse over time. Regarding its impact on crime, while no single policy is a complete solution, I believe SB26-043 is a reasonable step toward improving safeguards and addressing public concerns while still respecting responsible gun ownership.

Thank you again for your input, I will continue to carefully consider all perspectives as this legislation moves forward. Please don’t hesitate to reach out again if you have any additional questions or concerns.

ISO just a little help getting into competitive shooting, I’m interested in pistol and maybe some rifle. I live in the Ken Caryl area. Looking for maybe some gear recommendations, an entry level competition recommendations… shooting buddies. TIA

i’m 20 yo and missed the cut off when they changed the buying age form 18 to 21, now i’m seeing all the news about having more hoops to jump through to buy firearms coming in August.

what guns are exempt from these new rules?
and what of those exempt would you recommend?

I have a CA compliant AR15 with the kingpin setup and a CA compliant Beretta M9, when I move out to CO what should I know about how different the laws are regarding what features I can and can’t add on the rifle, like do I get to remove the silly kingpin BS and have the ability to release the mag without “disassembling” the firearm? I know the laws are slightly more lax out there, for example very excited to shoot 15 rd mags instead of 10, but what are the other changes I can look forward to? Thanks!

I've seen a bunch of stuff on AR lowers and uppers here, but relatively little on AKs. I was having a discussion with some individuals who have accumulated AK kits and completed AK receivers over the years. Can they assemble them after August 1st or is that a no no? What parts absolutely need to be put together by August 1st? Can they have a builder put them together after August 1st or no?

If anyone was curious, CPW just approved the fee at $52 plus the Sheriff's Office cost and the training cost.

hey all!

I have experience with most of the gun stores in the area. I'm looking for recs near me.

I've worked with Max, at Skyline FFL before - I really liked him, but a 45min+ drive each way eliminates a lot of the benefits of dealing with him.

A search of FFL licenses finds a lot of "kitchen table FFLs" within miles of me.
Does anyone have any experience with anyone local? And recommendations - either good or bad?

I'm looking for affordable transfers from online orders.

No ammo yet. I have basic gun safety knowledge but no official classss just online stuff I’ve been studying for the last half decade. Just been playing around with it and getting used to it. I plan on taking a CCW class. Can I just go to a gun range and practice and learn? Or should I take a safety class / CCW class first? I still need to get a holster and bullets. I got a smith and Wesson 9mm

I'm looking at getting an IWI Arad 5 they don't sell a 10 round version. How do I navigate that? Is it a case where I send it to an ffl and they just take the mag or replace it with a complaint mag. If that's the case what FFLs do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

Howdy yall, I'm a Washington resident that is planning a road trip with some friends to help them move down. It's a +20 hour trip and I plan on conceal carrying all the way there, since I have both my Washington cpl (which is pretty much useless outside of Washington) and a Idaho CPL, which I heard that Colorado only recognizes permits from residents, and not from non-residents, but there's conflicting information about it.

Since I don't want to face any legal issues, is there a way to store my gun safely? Are there any gun ranges around the city of Denver that can hold guns?
