How early should I renew?

[SideShow Bob]

Just received the renewal form yesterday. Bank requires an appointment for certified check and notary.
Everything is extra effort these days and i don't even want to go out. I'll just grab my mask and go.

Did you contact your friends local sheriffs department to see if they are still processing renewals & applications ? And that they are not temporarily suspending processing these like Arapahoe County ?
Might want to make a phone call before going.

If I followed advise here, I'm glad I didn't and renewed in January even though mine did not expire until March. As a resident of Arapahoe county I would be in this shit show right now being essential and unable to carry.

As far as i know, el paso is processing renewals. They are not doing in office meets for new permits. That would seem to stop new ones.

JeffCO is now doing renewals and Emergency by secure email. https://www.jeffco.us/677/Concealed-Handgun-Permits

Nice. Good ole Adams County just says "closed through April 30th".

You should always renew as soon as they'll let you. DO NOT WAIT.

From JeffCo

Applicants may submit a completed application, proof of residency (a valid Colorado driver's license, Colorado ID or Military Photo Identification) and $35 within 120 days before the permit expires.

Polis suspended requirements for in-person prints and application for new concealed carry permits and recommends counties issue temporary 90 permits after you pass a BGC.

Still up to the county Sheriff's to work it out and still appears to require the in-person training requirement.

Here is the related excerpt of Executive Order D-2020-029:

I. I temporarily suspend the “in person” requirements related to the application and issuance of permits to carry concealed handguns (Concealed Handgun Permits) contained in C.R.S. ?? 18-12-205(2)(a), (2)(b), (3)(a), (3)(b), and (4)(a). I also temporarily suspend the requirement in C.R.S. ? 18-12-205(4)(b) that a sheriff shall take two (2) complete sets of an applicant’s fingerprints to submit to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI). In assessing each Concealed Handgun Permit application, I strongly encourage sheriffs, in order to maintain safety through social distancing, to first consider issuance of a temporary emergency permit pursuant to C.R.S. ? 18-12-209 (valid for an initial period of ninety (90) days) if appropriate, and second, to conduct a Colorado Crime Information Center (CCIC)/National Crime Information Center (NCIC) check of each applicant to determine whether the applicant is eligible to possess a firearm pursuant to 18 U.S.C. ? 922(g) before issuing a Concealed Handgun Permit. During the effective period of this Executive Order, sheriffs may issue Concealed Handgun Permits pursuant C.R.S. ?? 18- 12-206 or -209 upon completion of the requirements of C.R.S. ? 18-12-205, as modified by this Executive Order. Upon expiration of this Executive Order, I strongly encourage sheriffs to revisit and reevaluate permits granted under this Executive Order for compliance with all of the mandates in C.R.S. ? 18-12-205.

I notice he also snuck in a suspension of the requirement for CBI to issue a final decision within 30 days for a denial.

K. I temporarily suspend the requirement in C.R.S. ? 24-33.5-424(5)(b)(II) that CBI render a
final administrative decision regarding the denial of a firearm transfer within thirty (30)
days after receiving information from the transferee that alleges the transfer was
improperly denied, to provide CBI with additional time to complete these duties in light
of the support they are providing to the State during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the
expectation that CBI will fulfill these duties as soon as practicable.

I seem to recall Guns for Everyone stating that they were "essential" and were going to continue classes, FWIW.

I believe you're right. Did I imply that classes were not available? I think GFE has reduced class size to social distancing space avail.

One could always get "private" instruction from a friend that's certified too.

[ChickNorris]

Fwiw, I took my offical class a few weeks ago. Bday present to myself of sorts. Took my private instructor out to my range. Nice day & a bit of normalcy to boost my spirits.

Now I'm without avenue to get my chp until Denver opens up again, less someone knows something I don't.
