Colorado CCW Training Warning

[adam223]

Jefferson County has revised their process. I assume as a result of the same audit. New applicants have to provide a copy of your instructor's certificate and instructor's wallet card.

4.) A copy of the instructor's "original certification" certificate and a copy of the "instructor's card" (wallet-size), which shows their certification expiration date.

I don't know if this has been talked about more but I am going in this Tues to submit my App and info for my CCW in Jefferson County. I have reviewed many times Jeffcos website and do not see anything different from last year. I definately do not see now that you need an Instructors wallet card. I just ask because I want to make sure I am prepared.

I would give them a call and ask to be connected to the office that does the CCW permits - then ask them EXACTLY what you need to bring with you!

Here is their contact info:

I provided an ink signed certificate with my NRA cert number on it, the CRS reference and the students full name. No-one has ever asked for a copy of my wallet card. Of course JeffCO has a file on me, but one would think if that was a requirement one of the 2000 or so students of mine who have JeffCO permits, (or the 3000 in other counties) would have been asked. While I do not necessarily agree with the way the law is written, the quickly growing number of irresponsible people does make me nervous. I required a 90 round shoot test after shooting about 200 at the range. Instructors who care about their students will include shooting while those who just care about making some $ as easy as possible won't. Personally, with what has been posted, I would make sure I had the copy of the cert before I went into the Sheriff. If the instructor won't give it to you, he probably is not certified.

[sarcasm]Well, quite frankly, the last thing I want is armed, nervous people running around loose in society. Nervous people shouldn't have guns...or they should be required to pass an "I'm not nervous any more" test before getting a gun.[/sarcasm]

Instructors who care about their students will include shooting while those who just care about making some $ as easy as possible won't.

And instructors who think like that obviously have an elitist belief that:

• state law is fundamentally flawed (even though there's no evidence the requirements as they now stand are inadequate)
• some people have no God-given right to an adequate means of self-defense (due to physical or financial limitations that might prohibit them from acquiring/completing this type of training)
• bigger government is good
• big brother oversight is good
• most people can't be trusted
• only "we" are smart enough or talented enough to carry guns or train people how to carry guns

I don't have a problem with people getting voluntary training. I also believe it absolutely should not be any more difficult than it already is to get a permit. Despite how "nervous" you are with commoners with minimal training having guns , I seriously doubt you can provide evidence that it's a problem that needs correcting.

Wyoming is on the verge of becoming the third state to say a permit is not needed by a law-abiding person to carry a gun for defense. It's not rocket surgery.

I agree with some of you on your points. My summary:

1. Less government is always better
2. More personal responsibility
3. Guns in every household should be common like it was 100 to 200 yrs ago.
4. The 2nd amendment should be my CCW permit like AK and VT.
5. Those that carry open/conceal/illegally should take pride and responsibility and want to practice and take training even if its not from a formal certified source. THey should want to be as good as they can be with their weapon, be it; fist, knive, car, gun, bomb, etc. I don't really care.

Flame me if you want, thats my opinion and don't foresee it waivering through discussion/debate.

Mr "Guns", might I suggest a reading course for you as well! I said that I do not agree with the law the way it is written. I DO beleive in the 2nd amendment, as written and therefore ANY government required training to exercise that right is fundamentally wrong. You have let your emotion cloud your logic.

What I said is based purely on training, which I beleive should all be voluntary (read above statement). I'll stick with what I wrote even though you grossly misunderstood the basic written english language.
