What is the basic criteria for granting a temporary emergency Concealed Handgun Permit?
A Sheriff may issue a temporary emergency permit to carry a concealed handgun to a person whom the sheriff has reason to believe may be in immediate danger. A person shall submit to the sheriff of the county in which the person resides or in which the circumstances giving rise to the emergency exist the items specified in C.R.S. 18-12-205; except that an applicant for a temporary emergency permit need not submit documentary evidence demonstrating competence with a handgun. The applicant may be eighteen years of age or older. The applicant shall submit a temporary permit fee to the sheriff. In addition, the applicant must submit a fee of $30.50 to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation in the form of a cashier’s check or money order to conduct a NICS check and a statewide fingerprint check. A temporary emergency permit is valid for a period of ninety days after the date of issuance.
