Several residents and a public-interest law firm sued Colorado’s governor and other state officials on Sept. 2 over the requirement for a permit to buy a gun set to begin on Aug. 1, 2026.

The plaintiffs say the state’s gun control law, signed by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis in April, requires a state permit to purchase a gun. They claim the provision discourages gun ownership through difficult and time-consuming background checks, training, and testing requirements, as well as added fees.
