Get Trained
Carrying a concealed weapon is not something to be taken lightly. If you are going to carry a gun, you must receive proper training in gun safety and self-defense. Taking a gun safety course will help ensure that you know how to properly handle and store your gun and that you are aware of the laws governing the use of firearms.
Choose the Right Gun
The type of gun you carry is important. You want to choose a gun that is comfortable for you to carry and that you can easily control. It is also important to choose a gun that is appropriate for the type of self-defense you are seeking. If you are looking for a gun to defend yourself against an attacker, you will want a different gun than if you are looking for a gun to defend yourself against a Colorado bear.
Get a Concealed Weapons Permit
To apply for a Concealed Handgun Permit in Colorado, you must be 21 years of age or older and a resident of the state. Applicants must provide proof of residency and complete a concealed carry training class. The application must then be submitted to the local County Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office will then conduct a background check and issue a permit if the applicant is found to be eligible.
Be Prepared to Use Your Gun
Carrying a concealed weapon is not a game. If you carry a gun, you need to be prepared to use it. That means knowing how to use your gun properly and being mentally and emotionally prepared to pull the trigger if necessary. It is also important to have a plan in place for what you will do if you are ever in a situation where you need to use your gun.
Carrying a concealed weapon is a serious responsibility. If you are considering carrying a concealed weapon, make sure you are fully prepared before you take the plunge with Liberty Firearms Institute concealed carry courses.
