Baca County Permit Holders? (Sheriff Rant)

[jh308]

That is how my last El Paso county CCW expired. They would only issue it with an expiration date of the Sheriff's term.

That was a few years ago... maybe things have changed.

If it's after 2003, I don't see where they have a choice. The laws regarding statewide issuance were inacted in the Colorado Senate that year. The sheriff's have absolutely no say whatsoever in the term limit from all laws I can find. In fact, I can't see where they have any option at all except to issue, as long as you meet the criteria of course. Don't put up w/it.

My father went in today, and the sheriff's story had changed. They were willing to extend the entire five years as the law states. Donna wanted him to thank me for her, as I guess after I read her the C.R.S. and the Senate Bill in our heated discussion yesterday, she actually read it. After reading the law, they learned that not only did they have to issue for 5 yrs, they can also charge up to $100 + CBI fee. So she asked him to thank me for them making more money. He said he told her that was fine, as he was still getting 3 more years for the extra $50 they were now charging. He's still planning on putting something in the paper so that all the CCW holders they have screwed over can come and request their extra term that they were not given. We have also called all the other class members, just in case they get any shit from them.

Now just for the 90 day wait to make sure they don't try and pull anything else or deny approval.
