"Expired permits have a 6-month grace period in which to renew, however those who renew after July 1, 2025 are still subject to the new training requirements per HB24-1174" (Retrieved From: El Paso County Sheriff-CHP). The “grace period” only allows for a 2-hour class to renew the permit without restarting the application process (which requires an 8-hour class). During this grace period, carrying concealed is not permitted. To regain a valid permit, you must complete the required training (2hr) and submit your renewal application.

Also: "Pursuant to C.R.S. 18-12-211 (1) (a), a permit may be renewed within 120 days prior to the expiration date." (Retrieved from: EPSO-CHP).
