As a resident of Colorado, can I use my Florida/Utah concealed carry permit to carry in Colorado? NO (changed as of 6/2007, due to SB07-34)
As simply as we can put it: a non-resident Florida/Utah permit (a permit issued by Utah or Florida to an applicant who is not a resident of that state) is no longer valid in Colorado.  A Florida/Utah permit to carry in any other state that allows non-resident permits might be valid, but not in Colorado.

Florida and Utah are states that issues "non-resident" permits (Colorado law does not authorize a sheriff to issue a non-resident permit). This new law, which we stridently opposed, says that for a non-Colorado permit to be valid in Colorado, that permit must be from a state which has a reciprocity agreement with Colorado, and (here's where the new law adds a criteria) that permit holder must be a resident of the state that issued the permit.

That also means that for a Utah or Florida carry permit to be valid, the person carrying that permit must be from the state that issued the permit.

As a resident of New York (or any state that does not issue CCW permits), can I use my Florida/Utah concealed carry permit to carry in Colorado? NO (changed as of 6/2007, due to SB07-34)

On Tuesday, March 18th, 2003, Colorado Governor Bill Owens signed into law a bill that was 10 years in the making.  From the first salvo, fired in 1994's session, to 2003, it has been a contentious battle, spanning the entire careers of politicians and forcing a wide-ranging debate on the subject of citizens carrying concealed handguns. Below is an overview of what SB24 will mean to Colorado.

• The red items are new restrictions to Colorado permit holders. 
• The blue items are more lenient than previous Colorado law.
• The black items are no change in Colorado law.

Please be aware: you must abide by the laws of the state you are traveling (many differ from those of Colorado).  Map update 12/2/2011

Grey: Counties that enter CCW info in state CCIC.

White: Counties that do not enter info in CCIC.

Under current law, entering permit holders into CCIC is solely at the discretion of each elected County Sheriff.

Note: some sheriffs are new, and therefore this county map might not reflect the new Sheriff's decision to enter or not enter permit holders into the database.  For instance, newly elected (2010) Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith is not entering permit holders into the database, though his predecessor did (which is why the map shows the old decision by the previous sheriff).

With the enactment of Colorado's new concealed carry law, sheriffs have little choice but to begin issuing.  However, many sheriffs departments are stalling, waiting for a form dreamed up by the anti-gunners at the County Sheriffs of Colorado.  There are already differences brewing between counties (along the lines of hunter safety training), and some will have applications ready by the May 18th deadline while others will wait...and wait.

RMGO was the only gun group in Colorado to push to prohibit sheriffs from entering permit holders into the Colorado Crime Information Center database (click here for more details) in SB24, the bill that passed.  Though the bill does not prohibit the database until 2007, our efforts did force other changes.  Instead of keeping secret the Sheriffs who decide to optionally add permit applicants to CCIC, CBI is now required to tell us.
