colorado house takes up two more gun bills [View all]
hope this is appropriate to post here
DENVER - Proposals to change how people get concealed carry gun permits in Colorado and new restrictions on gun ownership for domestic-violence offenders will be up for consideration in the House.
The proposals scheduled for committee votes Thursday have already cleared the Senate.
Senate Bill 195 would require people seeking concealed carry permits to take gun training courses in person. People can currently take online courses.
Senate Bill 197 would require courts to order anyone subject to a domestic violence protection order or convicted of domestic violence to relinquish their guns within 24 hours. A judge could extend that to 72 hours. That bill also goes to the state House.

a bit more here
i think it is entirely appropriate that people with domestic violence convictions relinquish their guns. i swore it was like that here already, but it appears i was wrong. abusers have no business with guns.
