Colorado Senate GOP advances concealed carry without permit [View all]

Associated Press • Updated: February 19, 2015 at 11:25 am •
DENVER — Senate Republicans approved legislation to let adults 21 and over carry a concealed gun without a permit.
Republicans argue that a constitutional right should not be subjected to a permitting process. But Democrats say getting a permit that includes handgun education is important to public safety.
The bill passed the Senate Thursday on a 18-17 party-line vote. It now heads to the Democrat-led House, where it is likely to be rejected.
The permitting requirements were passed in 2003.
