Virtual Firearms Instructor Stakeholder Meeting
Signed into law on April 10, 2025, SB25-003 requires individuals to complete a firearms safety course before purchasing or transferring certain specified semiautomatic firearms after the law takes effect. CPW is responsible for implementing the program, including developing course standards, maintaining eligibility records, and coordinating with county sheriffs, certified course instructors and licensed firearms dealers.
CPW has launched a dedicated webpage outlining legally required program requirements and timelines and is hosting a series of public and stakeholder meetings across the state through May 2026. At these meetings, CPW staff will share information and address questions, and attendees will have the opportunity to provide feedback.
