My suggestion is to not cheap out on the class. Take something worth taking, not a bargain-deal, couple-of-hour gig.

Did mine at Profire in Thornton. Two-day deal, a little over $200 ... It was a good class, covered CO/UT and did the photos/paperwork for CO/UT/FBI. Included range time on Sunday. It covered the important points and some of the goofy laws that you should probably be aware of.

I have taken other advanced courses in other states. I just need to go over the laws here in Colorado.

That is exactly what the online course should be used for.

Well, that was a good football game, sorry to see such a great season end like that.

I guess that it's better than the Pat's 18 - 1.

I got my CCW in 2008 from a correspondence course from Highland Ranch Firearms. It was cheap and easy. Their website doesn't show it any more but might be worth lobbing in a phone call. 303.589.3030 The guy who handled the course was George Hollmann.

Thanks Osmand. I was unaware there was on online course until today. I wouldn't mind going to the class in person, but $100 to sit in a hard chair seems a wee bit steep especially when the real estate isn't all that expensive.
