new resident ccw and gun buying question

[buckeye4rnr]

Hey guys,

I moved here from Ohio recently and I'd like to get my CCW and be able to purchase guns in this state so I've got a question.

My car is titled in my dad's name and insurance is cheaper in Ohio so I haven't changed it yet(cleared with the agent for at least two more months) but they both said if I get my Colorado DL the big wigs at the insurance company may kick me off my Ohio insurance plan and get it here in Colorado(not a big deal but if he's willing to let me save some money I'm not going to say no.)

Does anyone have experience with this and can you offer any advice on another way I can go about buying a gun in this state without a Colorado DL and is having the DL the only way to get my CCW since Ohio's isn't recognized here?

Thanks.

Sounds like you have a big boy decision to make soon.

You'll need in state residency to apply for a CO cwp. Also, by law you have something like 90 days to switch your stuff over once you move here.

You have to have a CO driver's license to prove residency. So be a big boy, pay your own bills, and you can buy a gun in Colorado.

Since I recently moved I'm still within the 90 days.

I came to ask if there was another way to do it within those 90 days, I didn't come here to be told to grow up.

Thank you Monky for answering my question.

[UncleDave]

Yes, if you are employed in CO then you can get your driver's license and the you are a resident of CO. That is the answer.

So a license is the only way to prove residency when it comes to guns. Thanks for the answer, I'm looking forward to being a part of this forum.

My thoughts exactly.
In the grand scheme of things,your not gonna see a HUGE difference $$wise
with your little money saving scenario. Just get a CO DL and get CO insurance
as the insurance requirements are a bit diffrent then Ohios and your not gonna
be able to do anything CCW wise until you have a CO DL.
I also wouldnt conduct a private sale or trade with you until you had a CO DL.

It used to be 30 days, but may have changed since I last read that or came across it.

Gabe said it best, most likely not a soul will sell you a firearm without being a CO resident. Welcome to the forum, we like to rib the FNGs here so don't take it personally... this place is like the justice system, anything you say or do (suppressing fire!) can and will be held against you in the court of CO AR-15! But like everyone said, don't try to buy a gun here unless you are a legal CO Resident, don't even bother thinking about going for your CCW until then, and every state differs on insurance requirements and minimum liability limits (CO is 25,000/50,000/15,000). Welcome to the greatest state in the nation!
