Training
Western Slope CHP
Colorado is a shall-issue state for Concealed Handgun Permits. To apply for or renew a CHP, applicants must provide proof of handgun training that meets the statutory requirements set by the State of Colorado.
The sheriff of the county where you apply determines whether your training documentation is acceptable. For residents of Mesa County and the Western Slope, it is important to choose a training provider that understands both state law and local expectations.
Colorado CHP Training Requirements (C.R.S. 18-12-203)
Under Colorado law, CHP applicants must demonstrate handgun competency through verified training. Acceptable training generally includes:
- Safe handling and storage of a handgun
- Basic principles of marksmanship
- Understanding of Colorado laws related to the use of force and self-defense
- Live-fire or practical handgun instruction, when applicable
Training may be used for both initial CHP applications and renewals, provided it meets statutory guidelines and is accepted by the issuing sheriff.
KSAT-5 Training structures its courses to align with these requirements while maintaining a strong emphasis on safety, responsibility, and practical understanding.
