Ammunition to Denver

Colorado is the exception on this list. C.R.S. 18-12-117, in force since 1 July 2026, reaches any vendor selling at retail for delivery to a purchaser in Colorado — including a dealer shipping in from another state. It does two things that change how an order to Denver works:

• No ammunition sale to anyone under 21. A narrow grandfather for buyers born on or before 28 January 2007 runs until 28 January 2028.
• Delivery must be age-verified. The parcel has to be handed over by a service that checks the recipient’s age against government photo identification and takes a written acknowledgment of receipt. It cannot simply be left at the door.

Rimfire ammunition is exempt from the sales rules but not from the delivery rules.

What that means for your order: we confirm the delivery can be made on those terms before a Colorado ammunition order ships. Where it cannot, we cancel and refund that part of the order rather than send a parcel that cannot lawfully be handed over.

Firearms to Denver

A firearm goes to a Colorado-permitted FFL and the state adds real steps to the federal ones. The buyer must be 21. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation must affirmatively approve the transfer — there is no default proceed after three days as there is under federal law — and the dealer may not hand the firearm over until the later of three days or that approval.

What we will not send to Denver

Colorado has no firearm preemption, so a city may be stricter than the state, and Denver is. Denver prohibits assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition feeding devices within the city limits. What falls inside those definitions is set by the city’s own code rather than by us, so if you are ordering to a Denver address and are unsure whether an item qualifies, ask before you order and we will check it with you.
