WHEN IS IT ILLEGAL TO CARRY A CONCEALED WEAPON IN COLORADO?

Colorado Criminal Code section 18-12-105 CRS makes it unlawful to carry a concealed firearm in Colorado unless you have a permit. It is really easy to get a concealed weapon permit in Colorado because it is a "must-issue" state...this means that unless you fall into a limited group of exceptions, the local Colorado sheriffs must issue a concealed weapon (CCW) permit.

Colorado's concealed weapons laws do not regulate only firearms. In Colorado, you are not allowed to carry a variety of other concealed weapons on your person without a permit, including:

-knives with blades longer than 3.5 issues
-ballistic knives
-blackjacks
-gas guns
-gravity knives
-switchblades, and/or
-metallic knuckles.

In Colorado, a weapon is considered concealed if it cannot be readily viewed during ordinary observation. Examples of carrying a concealed weapon includes having a gun or switchblade in your pocket, in your purse, or in a holster that a jacket covers.

Penalties for possessing a concealed weapon in Colorado increase with successive offenses. A first offense is a misdemeanor, but subsequent offenses could be treated as a felony.
