SB 24-107

Senate Bill 24-107 expands the types of crimes that prevent someone from owning or carrying a gun in Colorado. It adds serious drug offenses and certain car thefts to the list of felonies that disqualify people from possessing firearms. This means if you're convicted of making, selling, distributing drugs, or stealing a vehicle twice, you won't be allowed to have a gun. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now enforceable by the state's legal system.
