Colorado. I would like to apply for a CWP in Colorado. Colorado CRP restricts permits from anybody convicted of a misdemeanor Domestic Violence offense "as defined in the USC." That small caveat (as defined in the USC) is where my question comes from. Colorado has 2 tests for DV. Either will convict. 1. physical or emotional violence and 2. prior intimate relationships. The USC specifies violence as required for DV eligibility. I have an M3 (lowest level misdemeanor) RO violation in Colorado from 7 years and not even a traffic violations since. As it was stated in the Court's ruling, because there was no evidence or testimony to the contrary, she finds no violence was present. However, she found that I and the witness had prior intimate relations which was enough to meet the test of domestic violence in Colorado, thus I was found guilt. According to my research (albeit non professional), because there was no violence in my case, claimed or convicted of, the USC should trump the local DV law. That said, the local sheriff said no. He only looks at Colorado Law. Who is right? The County is Elbert which I think might cause some attorney's mouths to water. Thanks everyone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
