Introduction to Firearms for Self‑Defense

CCW Colorado developed this free course to assist potential and new gun owners to decide what self-defense tool is best for themselves and their families.
 

The goals of this Free Class:

• To give new and potential gun owners information on self-defense laws

• To provide an understanding of different types of firearms for self-defense

• Help determine what firearm is best for your personal situation, if any

• Understand safe storage of firearms.

•  Bring people into the defensive firearms community

This course is not a shooting class and does not meet Colorado Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) requirements. It introduces firearms and self-defense, focusing on awareness, safety, legal issues, and responsible ownership.
 

If you want to apply for a CHP, you must complete certified training that meets state standards such as the CCW Colorado Tier 3 - Concealed Carry class. This course serves as a basic resource for those exploring self-defense options before pursuing firearm ownership or concealed carry.
 

Remember, effective self-defense is built on knowledge, preparation, and careful choices—not fear. 
 

By prioritizing safety and responsible ownership, you ensure that your decisions are thoughtful and informed. Making careful, informed choices means considering all aspects of self-defense, including whether a firearm is the right tool for you and your family.
