"When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes - remembering that it was one of the best parts of my education - make them hunters."

Henry David Thoreau, 1854


“A citizen who shirks his duty to contribute to the security of his community is little better than the criminal who threatens it.” - Robert Boatman

Colorado: Governor Vetoes Pro-Gun Reform
Please Contact Governor Ritter!

On Friday, May 15, Governor Bill Ritter (D) vetoed House Bill 1180

Sponsored by State Representative Steve King (R-54), HB1180 would have exempted Colorado concealed handgun permit holders from the background check requirement for the transfer of a firearm.

Please contact Governor Ritter at (303) 866-2471 and express your disappointment in his veto of House Bill 1180. Thank you to all those who contacted their legislators during this process.
