Supporting Community Organizations
From providing free gun locks to creating after school programs, there are community-based initiatives in Colorado that will benefit you and your loved ones.
Resources available to support safe gun ownership and storage
You don’t have to do it alone. There are resources to help you promote safety at home and in your neighborhood.
Community Resources
Voluntary, Temporary Gun Storage Options
Whether you’re traveling out of state and want extra peace of mind that your firearms are secure, have a teen at home in crisis and at risk for suicide, or your home is on the market and want to make sure that your firearms are secure while showings occur, you can use the Colorado Gun Storage Map to find a local business or law enforcement agency that provides options for temporary, voluntary firearm storage.
Extreme Risk Protection Orders
An Extreme Risk Protection Order is a tool to temporarily get guns out of the hands of individuals who pose an immediate risk to themselves or others. That’s it. It’s a common sense tool that prevents suicide and protects Colorado from acts of violence.

Gun safety happens one conversation at a time.
We all have a role to play to prevent gun violence, and can take everyday actions to hold ourselves and each other accountable for making Colorado a safer and healthier place to live. These videos show how everyone – whether they own a gun or not – can have constructive conversations with friends, family, and neighbors that can inspire safe habits, and even save lives.
