There are no limits to the amount of additional raffle tickets you can purchase in either case. (You do not need to be present to win.)

If you choose to enter the raffle you will have the chance to win several items

Handgun Safety Certificate

If you do not have your Colorado Concealed Carry Permit (aka Colorado Handgun Permit or CHP) you can opt in to receive a safety certificate that can be used to apply for your CHP.

After 1 July 2025 you will have to undergo an 8 hour course from a "Verified Instructor" who is verified by the county sheriff (see El Paso County) to receive a safety certificate. Here's an opportunity to save money if you want to apply for a Concealed Weapons Permit before 1 July 2025. Act fast!!! Otherwise you'll spend more time, money, effort to get one later.

A Colorado Handgun Permit is valid in 33 other states!!!!

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
