Colorado: Legislature Making Final Push For Gun Control Before End of Session - Contact Governor Polis!
Dear [Lawmaker],
As a fellow resident of Colorado and your constituent, I urge you to please VETO SB 24-131 and HB 24-1174. SB 24-131 expands Colorado's "sensitive places," also knows as gun-free zones. Though the version is the House has narrower definitions following amendments by the Senate, the bill is still a threat to law-abiding gun owners. 94% of mass shootings occur in these gun-free zones; signage is not enough to stop criminals. Law-abiding gun owners should not face criminal penalties for simply crossing arbitrary lines. Criminals, by their very nature, do not abide by laws or regulations; thus, they are undeterred by the prospect of encountering unarmed individuals. Instead, these zones disarm law-abiding citizens, leaving them vulnerable and defenseless in the face of danger. HB24-1174, increases the training requirements for concealed carry permit applicants and requires class instructors to be certified by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. This legislation is a solution in search of a problem, meant to harass gun owners and instructors by arbitrarily raising the qualification standards and likely the costs, despite not showing any existing deficiency in the current training standards. These bills do nothing to address crime in our state, and only seek to burden law-abiding gun owners and businesses. Again, I ask you to please VETO these bills. Thank you for all that you do for our state.
Sincerely,
______
