FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
New CHP
Do I need a concealed handgun permit?
Only if you plan to carry a handgun on your person, hidden from the view of others when out of your car, home, or business.
Application and Scheduling
How long does the application process take from start to finish?
Currently there is high citizen demand for application appointments. There may be a wait of 120 days or more for an open application appointment. Once submitted, the maximum time by law is 90 days. The Team issues most permits within 60 to 90 days after application.
How do I cancel my appointment?
You can cancel or change your appointment through the link in the confirmation email you will receive after booking an appointment or through the link in the reminder email you will receive 48 hours before your appointment. You can also call the CHP team at (303) 655-3210 to cancel your appointment.
Can I get in the next day or session if I missed my appointment?
No. Failure to show is NOT the same as cancelling. If you fail to show for your appointment, you must schedule another session in the online calendar. We urge you to keep your scheduled appointment if at all possible.
Name Change
What do I need if I change my name?
Fill out the Name Change form. Bring in with name change documentation (i.e. marriage certificate; court order, etc.) as well as your valid driver's license issued in your new name.
Address Change
If I move out of county before my permit has been processed, will I have to reapply in the new county?
No. You will need to provide an address change form with a note in the comments section of the form that you have not received your permit yet and email to [email protected].
Do I need to inform you if I move?
Yes. Fill out the change of address form and email it to [email protected].
I've been out of the military for many years. Why do I still have to show my DD214?
Per Federal law, anyone dishonorably discharged from the U. S. military may not own or carry a weapon. Visit the National Archives Online Search to obtain military documents online. Additionally, providing proof of military service may qualify you for a discount on the cost of a new or renewal permit.
Renewing a CHP
Will you notify me when it is time to renew my permit?
We will not notify you. You may renew up to 120 days before and up to 180 days after your permit expires. If you renew your permit within 180 days after it has expired, there is a $15 late fee, per Colorado Revised Statute 18-12-211. After the 180-day period, the permit is considered permanently expired and may not be renewed.
If you no longer reside in Adams County you must renew in the County of your current residence or provide documentation that you own property in Adams County.
Damage, Lost, & Stolen Permits
My permit is faded to the point that I cannot read it. What do I do?
Bring it to the Sheriff's Office HQ in Brighton for replacement, free of charge.
My permit was lost/stolen. What do I do?
Report it stolen to the law enforcement agency where it was last seen. Bring the completed report, valid picture ID such as drivers license or passport, and $15 to the Sheriff's Office HQ in Brighton. We will have you complete a Permit Lost or Destroyed form, receive your payment and replace your permit.

In 2014, after reviewing the applicable Federal Statutes, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office ceased the practice of issuing permits in order to comply with Federal Law. The laws only specify that an honorably separated Law Enforcement Officer need only carry retirement/separation credentials issued by the agency he or she separated from, and proof of handgun qualification within the previous one year period to carry a concealed handgun.
If you are honorably separated from a Colorado Law Enforcement agency, C.R.S. 24-33.5-112 mandates issuance of retirement credentials to retirees in good standing. If you separated from an out-of-state agency, you need to obtain “good standing” credentials to be covered by HR218.
House Bill 218
The Adams County Sheriff's Office FLATROCK Regional Training Center will accommodate retired Law Enforcement Officers needing to qualify with a firearm on the first Tuesday of each month between 12:00 Noon to 1 PM with a confirmation. This facility is located at 23600 E 125th Avenue, Brighton CO. Retirees can qualify at any range where a P.O.S.T course is offered.
Those wishing to qualify must meet the criteria specified in the above listed HR 218. Retirees MUST contact FLATROCK Regional Training Center at 720-523-7500 to confirm space and time at the range. All shooters must bring their retirement credentials, eye and ear protection, the firearm they intend to carry, and factory ammunition. No reloads or non-standard ammunition will be allowed on the range. Your weapon an ammunition will be inspected for safety before being allowed on the range.
