It’s been one year since Colorado implemented red flag laws. A recent report shows the impact it has already had on residents. According to the report released on Thursday, over 100 red flag protection orders were filed in 2020. Police reportedly removed firearms from the homes of 66 people who were flagged by family members, legal guardians or law enforcement officers. Under the new law, a judge can approve firearm confiscation if there is a belief a person could be a threat to themselves or others.
