Local gun shops and shooting ranges are worried that people will be unable to defend themselvesA Colorado gun reform law that will prohibit people under 21 years old from purchasing a gun will go into effect on Monday.
SB23-169, one of several sweeping gun reform measures approved by the state legislature and signed by the governor in the spring, will prohibit people under the age of 21 from purchasing a gun, with exceptions for active members of the U.S. armed forces, peace officers and people certified by the Peace Officer Standards and Training board.
Local gun shops and shooting ranges say the new law might lower profit, but they are more worried about the people who will be unable to protect themselves.
"People under the age of 21 are no longer going to have the right to defend themselves with firearms," DCF Guns store manager Kevin Day told Fox 21. "The best thing we can do is continue to educate the public."
