Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Concealed Carry Classes in Pueblo, Colorado, Concealed Carry Renewal Training, Handgun Fundamentals, and Court-Ordered Gun Safety Classes through Have Gun Will Train Colorado.
Concealed Carry Permit Questions (Pueblo, Colorado)
What are the requirements to get a Concealed Handgun Permit in Colorado?
Colorado requires an 8-hour in-person training class, a written test, and a live-fire shooting qualification with at least 50 rounds fired. Online-only training does not meet the requirement for a new permit.
Can I take the concealed carry class online?
No. Colorado law requires in-person instruction and a live-fire qualification. If a class is online-only, it does not satisfy the training requirement for a new permit.
How long is your concealed carry class?
The class is 8 hours total. In some cases it can be completed in one day or split into two shorter sessions.
Do I need my own gun for the class?
No. If you do not yet own a handgun, one can be provided for training and qualification.
Concealed Carry Renewal Questions (Colorado Requirements)
What is required to renew a concealed carry permit in Colorado?
Renewal training includes updated legal instruction, a written competency exam, and a live-fire shooting qualification. Your training certificate must be current when you file for renewal.
When should I renew my permit?
Colorado allows renewal up to 120 days before expiration. Waiting until the last minute is asking for trouble.
Is the renewal class shorter than the original concealed carry class?
Yes. The renewal class is shorter than the initial class, but it still includes the required shooting qualification and legal updates.
Beginner Handgun Training Questions
I have never handled a gun before. Is this class for beginners?
Yes. Handgun Fundamentals is built for beginners and covers safe handling, loading and unloading, basic operation, shooting fundamentals, and your first live-fire lesson.
What will I learn in Handgun Fundamentals?
You will learn safe gun handling, loading and unloading procedures, basic shooting skills, important Colorado gun laws, and practical fundamentals for new handgun owners.
What if I am nervous about shooting?
That is normal. New shooters are coached step by step in a safe, controlled environment. The point is to teach you correctly, not throw you into chaos.
Court-Ordered Gun Safety Questions
Do you offer court-ordered gun safety classes?
Yes. Have Gun Will Train Colorado offers court-ordered gun safety classes with online and in-person options depending on the requirements of the case.
Can I take a court-ordered gun safety class online?
In many cases, yes. The online version is designed so that a prohibited person does not handle a firearm during class. You still need to make sure that it meets your court requirement.
How do I receive proof that I completed the class?
A completion certificate is typically emailed after successful completion of the course.
