Lawmakers in Colorado signed a “Red Flag” gun bill into law on April 12 that will allow the removal of guns from a person deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. Law enforcement, family, and household members will be able to petition for the temporary removal of a persons right to possess a firearm, after proving with facts that the person poses a significant risk.
The bill HB19-1177, called the Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO), goes into effect as of Jan. 1, 2020.
