Just got the call today, my permit was approved and is ready to be picked up!! So as of Monday I'm official. I appreciate all the input...
My younger brother just got his concealed (took 102 days- he kept meticulous count) but he had a DUI from 3 or so years ago and then just months later a DUR (Driving Under Revocation). They initially denied the CCW because they claimed it was 2 alcohol related incidents with 5 years. He asked for a second review and they saw that the DUR wasn't alcohol related and issued the permit. So be careful with anything that could jeopardize your permit or permit process... I asked the under sheriff for Clear Creek County and he said that you could lose your permit if you are convicted of two or more alcohol related charges within 3 years of each other. So don't get busted for drunk- in- public.![]()
I don't know the number, but I believe there is a Colorado Statute that says they are required to issue the permit to you if the CBI has not answered the background check within 90 days. If it were to come back later as "denied" they could take it from you, but on day 91 you can go to the Sheriff's office and ask for it... They have to give it to you. We did that with my Husband's permit when Elbert County took too long.
This issue was a halt by the Sheriff's department- and then the review process extended it a couple weeks. The CBI came back, it was the SO records that led them to send him the letter of intent to deny. He was at like day 86 or so when they informed him they weren't going to issue and he had to appeal it. That just took a bit of time I guess.
pretty sure when i was getting my ccw that it is 2 alcohol related offenses in 10 years that will prevent you from getting it. at least that is what the garfield county handbook said.
Not sure- I just remember him almost having to wait a while- like 2013 or so- to get his, but that might be 10 years and I'm misquoting what happened... But alas he has his now so all is well.
