To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Colorado Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any and all policies, procedures, directives, memorandums, and any other guiding materials regarding matters pertaining to firearm acquisition, licensure, use, and transfer, including, but not limited to, the following:
• policies and procedures on the issuance of firearms permits and licenses. (Please note that this point is not a request for identities of individual permit/license holders, but is rather a request for governmental policies and parameters regarding the process and regulations by which one may obtain a license or permit. If separate strictures exist for each, provision of both would be greatly appreciated.)
• policies and procedures on the revocation of firearms permits and licenses.
• any and all available policies and procedures regarding local firearms policies. Please provide all such materials that alter or supplement departmental procedures.
Please include all available segregable data.
Please also provide all available data, statistics, or reports regarding matters pertaining to gun acquisition, licensure, use, and transfer, including, but not limited to, the following:
• the issuance of firearms permits and licenses.
• the revocation of firearms permits and licenses.
• the suspension of firearms permits and licenses.
• the renewal of firearms permits and licenses.
• incidents involving the use of a firearm.
If various policies or reports exist dependent on the type of firearm, provision of all applicable materials would be greatly appreciated. Should they be voluminous, provision of materials on rolling basis would be greatly appreciated.
Should your agency believe that any additional policies, procedures, reports or other analysis pertaining to firearm acquisition, licensure, use, transfer, deaths, incidents, or any related issues may reside with another agency or agencies, indication of such agencies would be greatly appreciated.
Please notify us if further clarification is necessary.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Caroline,
You will need to fill out the attached form, sign and date it and send in
the $7.50 research fee before we can begin to process your request. We are
not set up to take electronic payments, so a check or money order will need
to be sent. Additional fees will be calculated for the per page processing
once we know how many pages the final document will be.
Thank you,
Records

From: Sheriff Reports
Caroline,
The State of Colorado prohibits gun registration, per Colorado Revised
Statute 29-11.7-102. Openly displaying a gun is legal in Colorado and as
such, Colorado only has regulations/firearms policies for concealed carry
permits. This information can be obtained on our website at
http://larimersheriff.org/resource/concealed-handgun-permit. Information
regarding the issuance, renewal and revocation/suspension reasons for the
Concealed Handgun permits are all available there as well.
Additional Information regarding gun regulations in our State can be found
at the following website:
https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/csp/colorado-gun-laws
If you want incidents involving the use of a firearm you would need to give
us specifically what types of incidents you seek, and a date range for
those incidents (Last 6 months, 1 year etc). Each incident with a report
will cost you $7.50 plus .25 per page, so depending on the date range you
specify that can get costly very quickly. These incidents would ONLY be
for our agency and are by no means indicative of trends/incidents in other
counties or statewide.
Thank you,
