Lawmakers passed, and Governor Jared Polis signed into law, at least four major pieces of gun safety legislation this session. New laws include raising the minimum age to buy a firearm to 21 [years of age], and an Extreme Risk Protection Order, or “Red Flag,” law, that expands those who can petition to keep guns from the hands of those deemed a risk to themselves or others.
