Colorado is poised to raise the minimum age to buy firearm ammunition to 21 and require that retailers keep bullets in an enclosed display or behind a counter where customers could not access them without assistance.
The changes would be made through House Bill 1133, which was introduced last week by Democrats in the Colorado legislature.
The measure is promoted as a way to align the rules for ammunition sales in Colorado with the state’s new law prohibiting anyone younger than 21 from purchasing any gun. Right now, someone can purchase rifle and shotgun ammunition at 18 and handgun ammunition at 21.
