Colorado weapons charges range widely, from a previous felony conviction making simple possession of any firearm illegal under C.R.S. § 18-12-108, to charges tied to how and where a weapon was carried, to enhanced penalties when a weapon is used or displayed during another crime. Many of these charges turn heavily on whether the stop or search that turned up the weapon was conducted lawfully.
