CO2 Launchers and Colorado Law
Under both federal law and Colorado state law, CO2-powered self defense launchers are not classified as firearms. This means residents in Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Fort Collins, Aurora, and across Colorado can purchase one online and have it shipped directly to their door.
Colorado's active outdoor culture — hiking, trail running, mountain biking — creates real personal safety considerations in remote areas. The CO2 launcher is a practical less-lethal option for trail use, home defense, and everyday carry throughout the state.
