U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Guns For Everyone, the largest handgun training company in the state of Colorado, is voicing its support of HB21-1185, a bill being introduced in the Colorado legislature to repeal the onerous firearms training regulations inflicted on the citizens of Colorado.
The bill specifically seeks to repeal the state government’s authority to limit the sale, transfer or transportation of firearms during a disaster in the state, as well as repeal the prohibition on online or remote training in order to complete the requirements for Coloradans to apply for their concealed handgun permit.
The goal here is about educating owners of firearms about what responsible gun ownership entails. The campaign actually started, originally, in Larimer County at the behest of our [District Attorney s] Office, said Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith. We were looking at any avoidable injuries, deaths and criminal use of firearms.
In 2019, there were 188 guns stolen in Larimer County.
Guns stolen from homes and vehicles have increased in Aurora and Denver over the last two years. I, personally, have a vault that goes into my console of my personal vehicle, that it locks in. I realize not everybody has that option, but there s other locking mechanisms; steel cases that can go in that makes it a lot more difficult, said Smith. There s $20 or $30 solutions of putting that firearm in a case when you re out of the vehicle.
