Parker Gun Rights and Laws | When Can I Not Possess a Firearm?

It is not Colorado who has come up with most laws surrounding when you can lawfully possess a firearm. Rather, it is the federal government. Restrictions most worthy of attention are listed under Federal law, 18 U.S.C., Section 922(g), which prohibit you from possessing a firearm if:

  • You have been convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term greater than one year;
  • You are a fugitive from justice;
  • You are an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance;
  • You have been adjudicated as a mental defective or you’ve been committed to a mental institution;
  • You are in the United States illegally or under a nonimmigrant visa;
  • You’ve been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions;
  • You have renounced your U.S. citizenship;
  • You’ve been subject to a court protection order;
  • You’ve been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.

There are many other areas of Federal law which restrict your gun rights. Colorado law prohibits you from possessing a firearm under some circumstances as well, such as if you have a felony conviction, you’ve been adjudicated as a juvenile for a crime that would have been considered a felony offense if committed by an adult, you’re on probation or under a court order which has restricted your firearm possession rights, or other miscellaneous provisions.
