Colorado requires a Colorado Bureau of Investigation background check for dealer and nearly all private sales, a waiting period of three days from the start of the check before delivery, and a minimum age of 21 to buy any firearm, with limited exceptions. Magazines holding more than 15 rounds cannot be sold or transferred. Since August 1, 2026, buying a specified semi-automatic firearm, meaning a rifle or shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated handgun with one, also requires a safety course and an eligibility card from the sheriff.
Dealers in these communities all work for Pueblo-area buyers:
Colorado does not allow permitless concealed carry. The Pueblo County Sheriff issues concealed handgun permits to residents 21 and older who complete a qualifying training course and pass a background check; permits run five years. Open carry is generally legal but can be banned locally, and since 2021 cities and counties may adopt their own firearm rules, including limits on carry in certain places. Check local ordinances where you live and travel.
Most Colorado deer and elk rifle hunting is by limited license drawn in the spring, with over-the-counter options only for certain species and units. Deer rifle seasons generally fall in October and November by game management unit, and plains units along the Front Range, including those around Pueblo County, have their own dates and mostly private land. Rifles must be centerfire and meet caliber and bullet-weight minimums. Check the 2026 Colorado Big Game brochure for the units near you.
Pueblo sits between plains units to the east and the Wet Mountains to the southwest, with Lake Pueblo State Park and the San Isabel National Forest as public land; most deer tags are drawn.
Colorado's waiting period, age rules and 15-round magazine cap apply here, and parts arrive without any of them.
The public ranges below are run or officially listed by state wildlife agencies and state forests near the cities we cover. Most ask for a hunting or fishing license, an access permit or a small daily fee, and some close for the season, so check the agency page before you go to test a rebuilt pistol.

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Pueblo West, Blende, Vineland, Pueblo or anywhere in Pueblo County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.
Yes. A dealer must wait three days from the start of the background check before delivering a firearm, or longer if the check is still pending.
Colorado bars the sale or transfer of magazines holding more than 15 rounds. Magazines owned on July 1, 2013 and kept in continuous possession are grandfathered.
Buyers of specified semi-automatic firearms with detachable magazines now need a completed safety course and a sheriff-issued eligibility card before purchase. Many handguns are outside the definition, but check the current rules for the model you want.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
