Firearms Coalition of Colorado-Grassroots Pro-Second Amendment Organization
May 21, 2008 | Tagged Firearms Coalition of Colorado, grassroots pro Second Amendment organization, order of battle in the gun debate | 4 Comments
Full disclosure: I have been associated with the Firearms Coalition for over fifteen years.
This all-volunteer, Colorado grassroots organization is near and dear to my heart, because it is a regular at almost every major gun show along the Front Range, and is often present in other areas of the state. The Coalition distributes educational flyers to gun show patrons on urgent state and federal Second Amendment issues. During elections, the Coalition issues candidate ratings with regard to their positions on our natural right to defense of self and others from crime and tyranny.
The Firearms Coalition of Colorado was instumental in passing Colorado’s “shall issue” concealed carry law and statewide preemption of local anti-gun ordinances. The organization has received special recognition from the NRA and the Law Enforcement Alliance of America, a police association that supports the Second Amendment. The NRA designated the Firearms Coalition of Colorado its Grassroots Organization of the Year for its role in the passage of the above mentioned legislation.
The Coalition maintains a full-time lobbyist at the Colorado State Capitol during the Legislative Session, the only pro-Second Amendment group to do so. Working closely with the NRA Representative for Colorado and other pro-gun rights groups, the Firearms Coalition has successfully lobbied against numerous anti-gun bills. During the most recent session, the Coalition partnered with the NRA and other allies to stop Senate Bill 49, a “safe storage” bill that would have had a chilling effect on the immediate availability of firearms for self-defense.
The Firearms Coalition of Colorado maintains an Internet presence at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/COGunissues/ See my link on this page.
The Coalition also has a telephone hot line at 303-296-4867 (296-GUNS). This hot line is updated frequently with information of interest to the community of people who own guns. The Firearms Coalition can be reached by snail mail at:
PO Box 1454, Englewood, CO 80150-1454.
If you live in Colorado, or even if you live out of the state, I believe a $25 annual membership in the Firearms Coalition of Colorado is a good investment in freedom.

My wife and i are joining every pro second amendment group we can. Ellens membership check is on its way!
Weve just received our monthly NRA publications, all 3 and have been looking over the ballot information.We are both very proud to see they served our country.I lost a brother there and he was a ssgt ranger. So seeing who is on the ballot is very encouraging that our second ammendment rights are very important to them too!we will be sending our dues checks in the coming week. best regards jim&mona
