CCW classes at Colorado Handgun Safety are four hours long. You’ll learn a ton of fantastic information from an engaging instructor who will make your class fun and fast.
After you pass your CCW class, you’ll receive a certificate of completion. This certificate will show as proof that you attended a firearms safety class when you go to apply for your permit.
You’ll apply with your county’s sheriff’s office by submitting an application either online or in person.
The cost of your CCW application depends on your county and whether you’re renewing. On average, it’s about $100-150 to apply for the first time.
For example, if you’re applying for your CCW in Denver County, you’ll pay a $152.50 fee that covers your background check and processing. There may be some other costs for things like a temporary permit and fingerprints, too.
If you’re renewing, it’s a lot cheaper. In Denver County, you’ll pay a $63.00 renewal fee.
The state of Colorado says they will let you know within 90 days of submitting your application.
No. You will not need to complete a written or live-fire test for your CCW permit.
Anyone can take a CCW class! Whether you’re a total beginner or have been in the military for decades, our classes are inviting, and our instructors can’t wait to meet you!
Keep in mind that Colorado requires you to be at least 21 years old to apply for your permit. If you’re a minor interested in taking a class, you can absolutely do so as long as you’re accompanied by a guardian.
While we encourage everyone to take a class to stay up to date on their skills and state laws, you do not need to take a CCW class to apply for your permit if you’re military or recently out of the military.
If you are active duty military or have proof of honorable discharge within three years of submitting an application, you do not have to take a firearms safety training class to obtain your permit.
No — your CCW permit is not public information.
