Hardin: Understanding Colorado House Bill 24-1174, a shift in concealed carry training

By Amanda Hardin | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado's landscape for concealed carry permits is set for a significant transformation with the introduction and passage of House Bill 24-1174.

The bill would ban legal possession in these gun-free zones by licensed permit-holders.  It would,...
