The Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit Refresher course is for residents of El Paso County, Colorado who have a current concealed handgun permit and need to renew their permit before their expiration date.

This course meets all the refresher training requirements for Colorado's new CHP laws enacted by House Bill 24-1174. The class structure covers all the necessary topics and evaluations for you to submit your renewal for a concealed handgun permit.

Colorado requires students to pass a live fire evaluation of their abilities. The instructor will provide marksmanship training to help you succeed. You may make multiple attempts on the day of the exam at the expense of your ammunition. You may also retake this class at a discounted rate if necessary.

Colorado requires students to pass an open-book, open-notes written exam. All questions on the exam will be covered in this class and requires no outside preparation.

Lessons Covered

  • Any Changes to Laws in the Last Five Years
  • Marksmanship Fundamentals
  • Live Fire Evaluation
  • Written Exam

Required Equipment

Students are expected to bring the following equipment. Anything else will be provided by the instructor. Students should provide their own firearm and ammunition. Students that need to borrow a firearm for class may contact us before class to make arrangements.

  • Payment for outstanding class fees (if applicable)
  • A semiautomatic pistol*
  • 3 or more magazines, 5 or more is recommended**
  • A holster that covers the trigger guard of the pistol***
  • 100 rounds of new, factory ammunition****
  • Eye protection

*A magazine-fed pistol in good working order. Note: Please contact us before signing up if you would like to attempt the class with any other firearm--including a revolver. Some accomodations can be made, but completing certain requirements for this class requires the use of a safe and appropriate firearm.

**Try to bring more than 5 magazines for single-stack magazines

***Plastic/molded fitted holsters tend to be the safest, but you can complete the class with a soft holster with a little extra care. You may come prepared for inside the wasteband or outside the wasteband carry as you wish to train. A strong, semi-rigid belt can be very helpful, too.

****You may opt to bring more ammunition for additional attempts to pass the marksmanship qualification. We will use 50 rounds for initial practice and training and 50 rounds for your evaluation.
