Colorado repealed firearms preemption in 2021, allowing cities and counties to enact local gun regulations stricter than state law in most circumstances.
Senate Bill 21-256 repealed CRS 29-11.7-103, restoring local authority to enact firearm regulations. Counties, municipalities, and special districts may now adopt ordinances on firearms, ammunition, and components. Local laws may differ from state minimums but cannot conflict with constitutional protections. Concealed carry permit holders retain statewide reciprocity. The law produced a patchwork of city-specific assault weapon bans, magazine limits, and waiting periods across the Front Range since 2021.
Penalties depend on local jurisdiction; commonly Class 2 misdemeanors with fines and possible jail time, though state law penalties remain the floor.
