This is what the state of Colorado doing to its citizens. They're making it more difficult to even go out and buy a simple semi-automatic pistol.

Today, the Department of Revenue, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are requesting feedback from Coloradans, stakeholders, and industry experts to help inform final guidance on SB25-003 that will be issued in July.

Signed by Governor Jared Polis in April 2025, Senate Bill 25-003 promotes public safety by requiring firearm safety training and an eligibility card issued by a sheriff to purchase and/or transfer specified semiautomatic fi****ms. SB25-003 also prohibits the purchase and sale of all rapid-fire conversion devices, like bump stocks and binary triggers.

The Fi****ms Dealer Division (FDD) within the Department of Revenue, CPW, and CBI are actively working with stakeholders, industry experts, and advocates to ensure different perspectives are captured and considered as they implement the new law.

Proposed Specified Semiautomatic Firearm Guidance

On May 15, the FDD published and made available draft guidance about specific models of fi****ms, as required by SB25-003.

As part of its commitment to an open and transparent process, the FDD shared a form for anyone to submit feedback and comments on the proposed fi****ms guidance. This form will remain open until midnight on June 5, 2026. The FDD will release the official guidance on July 1, 2026, and the new law will take effect on August 1, 2026.

Fi****ms Safety Program

As part of the legislation, starting August 1, 2026, individuals must obtain an eligibility card from their sheriff and complete a fi****ms safety course before purchasing or transferring a Specified Semiautomatic Firearm (SSF). This law only affects those who will purchase and transfer SSFs after August 1, 2026. Those who are in possession of an SSF prior to August 1, 2026, are not affected by this new legislation.

For updated information from CPW on how to purchase or transfer an SSF beginning August 1, visit CPW's Fi****ms Safety Program page.

Background Checks

The CBI InstaCheck Unit has prepared and trained an additional 20 reserve staff members from various sections within the CBI to prepare for the implementation of SB25-003.

Starting August 1, 2026, Colorado will block the purchase of most semi-auto rifles and shotguns with detachable magazines, along with gas-operated pistols, unless you first clear a new state permit system and obtain a super special gun buyer’s card.

Despite it having nothing to do with wildlife or conservation, Colorado Parks and Wildlife has been put in charge of building and enforcing this program.

They’re holding a public meeting at CPW Headquarters in Denver on Thursday, April 23 at 6:00PM. No registration required.

At that meeting, staff will walk through how they plan to roll this out and take questions. If you want to hear firsthand how this system is being built and provide input, this is your chance.

Stay away from Wave accounting software. Their payment processor doesn't support anything having to do with fi****ms to include selling simple cleaning supplies or doing gunsmithing services. There is no customer service links or phone numbers whatsoever anywhere on their website or on the internet. In order to get customer service, you have to be a paying customer. Before I knew all of this, I paid $190 because that's their annual fee to use the software which is a much better than QuickBooks. Once I got in and set up the payment processing all they saw was the word gun in the title of my business name and would not support me. I requested a cancellation fee 3 weeks ago and it's days before you hear from their customer service through email. Can't pronounce any of their names and they keep saying that their backlogged. There is absolutely no other way to contact these people unless they contact you first. The reviews on Google are decent until you start looking through the actual comments on the negative reviews. Come to find out, they even took down their Google reviews.

I've had this thing since the end of last year. Browning Citori 12 gauge over under shotgun. Customer dropped it off knowing I was going to be going into surgery and he's been waiting patiently. He didn't want any of the minor pitting pulled out but there was rust on it. The customer wanted it completely stripped and reblued. I got a majority of it done before I went into surgery in January. This week I was able to start putting it back together. Since I had it so long, I added a couple of gold highlights underneath to some of the etching.
