Important Caveats

• Reciprocity is statutory (C.R.S. 18-12-213) – Colorado honors permits from states that honor Colorado's.
• Must carry physical permit + photo ID; know Colorado laws (e.g., no carry in schools, gov't buildings, private property posted).
• Non-resident permits from reciprocal states honored; constitutional carry states (e.g., AZ, AK) – permitless carry not recognized for non-residents.
• Check Colorado CBI Reciprocity Map for updates.

States NOT reciprocal: CA, NY, NJ, MA, MD, CT, RI, HI, IL, WA, OR, MN, DE, VT, ME, NM, CO (own permit required).
