A word of caution to those who may see ads or deals for online CCW instruction and certification as we see a massive increase in interest in concealed carry in Colorado - many sheriffs' offices across the state will not honor an instruction certificate obtained by an online training company.
I don't mean to start or continue a debate over online vs in-person instruction, only to caution potential applicants about a pitfall we are encountering more often with students who have taken an online course advertised on a website or sold through "Deals" sites. I've found at least 11 counties throughout the state (both those known for being gun-friendly and, well, not so much) who've stated they will not accept online certification. Regardless of where you may come down on the issue, it pays to know what you're getting when you see a $10 price tag or promises of instruction in the convenience of your home.
As with all important purchases, research, interview, and make wise decisions, friends.
In the spirit of full disclosure, we are a training company in Northern Colorado. We believe strongly in enabling citizens to fully exercise their Constitutional rights and safely own, use, and care for firearms.
Be safe, shoot straight, and carry on.
