So that one may walk in peace

Concealed Carry

I have had a few people inquiring about getting their Concealed Carry training completed for renewal of their Concealed Carry Authorization. One thing that is becoming abundantly clear is that very few people currently carrying concealed are aware of the new Colorado Laws that went into effect on July 1, 2025. Some people are expecting the CCW Instructor to simply re-authorize their training without actually performing the qualifications required by the State of Colorado. This will not happen at Timberwoolfe!

Something else that I have noticed is that many people who have been carrying concealed are saying that they have not shot their gun for years. This is irresponsible and unacceptable! Some of the reasons for not practicing have been, “Ammunition is expensive, I don’t want to shoot it” or “I don’t have the time to practice”. I agree with the Second Amendment that we have “The right to keep and bear arms”, but we also have a responsibility to know how to use the gun that we carry. Failure to Practice is Negligent!

I hope this helps us all to be better protectors of ourselves and those we care about!

All objective scoring as defined by the National Rifle Association will apply. Students must pass with an 80% or better. Students are allowed two attempts to pass the Shooter Qualification. Failure to pass requires the student to attempt the course at a later date (After practicing). Regardless of Pass or Fail, all students will receive a copy of the NRA Shooter Qualifications for guidance during practice.
