Legal requirements around firearm education in Colorado have changed. Court-ordered handgun safety classes are now standalone courses and can no longer be fulfilled by taking a CCW class, as was previously allowed.
Colorado Handgun Safety offers a court-ordered gun safety class that meets all current state and court requirements. This classroom-based course provides approved firearm safety education for individuals who are required to complete training as part of probation, reinstatement, or other court directives. Our team provides clear instruction in a professional, respectful, and non-judgmental environment to help participants complete their requirements and move forward with confidence.
Our goal is to make you a more informed gun owner. That’s why we always prioritize high-quality education at Colorado Handgun Safety. Our instructors have worked hard to create an outline that makes the most of your time in our court-ordered gun safety classes. We will cover many topics in this course, including:
Components of a gun
Storage options
Cleaning your weapon safely
Basic firearm laws in Colorado

Responsibility of owning a weapon
