Firearm Policies, Procedures & Guidelines (Pitkin County Sheriff's Office)

Dear Ms. Curtis,
The Pitkin County Sheriff's Office has no role pertaining to firearm
acquisition, licensure, use and transfer of firearms with the exception of
issuing permits for carrying concealed weapons. Policies and procedures
for the issuance of concealed weapons permits is attached. As this
office's role is so limited, we have no additional documents, reports,
statistics, etc. responsive to your request. It is our policy to conform
to all applicable State and Federal Laws with regards to weapons in Pitkin
County. I apologize for the delay in responding to your request. Due to
the irregularity of our schedules, your request was not forwarded to me
until yesterday.
Sincerely,
Charlie Matthews
Records Manager

provision of both would be greatly appreciated.)
