RE: Inventory of Areas Designated Pursuant to C.R.S. § 30-15-302
Dear Board of County Commissioners:
Colorado state law, C.R.S. § 30-15-302, authorizes boards of county commissioners
to restrict the use of firearms in unincorporated areas that meet certain statutory
requirements, specifically where the average population density meets or exceeds one
hundred persons per square mile. The Colorado Office of the Attorney General is currently
compiling a list of all such areas designated pursuant to C.R.S. § 30-15-302. It would be
very helpful to this survey if you would provide a complete inventory of the area(s)
designated within your county, along with copies of the resolutions that designated such
area(s), and the legal description(s) of the designated area(s).
Please send the documents by mail to Pete Johnson, Legal Intern, Natural Resources
and Environment Section, Office of the Attorney General, 1525 Sherman Street, Denver, CO
80203, or you may FAX the documents to 303-866-3558. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to contact Pete Johnson by calling 303-866-6573 or by email at
PetenJohnson(iPstate.co.us. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
