Colorado gun sales surged 195% after a new safety training law took effect. The law, Senate Bill 25-003, requires training for gun purchasers and became active on Aug. 1. The surge reflects a sharp increase in background check applications.
Background check applications jumped 195% over last year, the same percentage as the rise in gun sales. The data was reported by 9News. The new law’s training requirement is the first major change to Colorado’s gun regulations in recent years.
