Firearm Ordinances

About Firearm Ordinances

During the 2021 Colorado legislative session, state lawmakers passed a law to give localities the flexibility to come up with their own ordinances addressing the sale, purchase, or possession of firearms within their jurisdictions (Colorado Senate Bill 21-256). The City and County of Broomfield is joining other organizations and governments across Colorado and the United States to establish specialized Firearm Ordinances.
