(The Center Square) – Colorado counties would be able to prohibit people from discharging firearms in specific unincorporated areas under a bill moving through the state House.

Currently, a board of county commissioners can designate unincorporated areas of a county where it’s illegal to discharge firearms. However, the commissioners can’t prohibit the discharge of firearms in shooting galleries, on private grounds or in residences in circumstances where persons and property aren’t endangered. Plus, an area must have a population density of 100 people or more per square mile for commissioners to enact a designation.

The bill is sponsored by Reps. Judy Amabile, D-Boulder, and Karen McCormick, D-Boulder. Senate sponsors are Dylan Roberts, D-Clear Creek, and Sonya Jaquez Lewis, D-Boulder. The bill also states county commissioners can’t restrict or in other ways affect “any person’s constitutional right to bear arms or own or possess arms or to use arms in defense of self, family, or property.”
