Elijah Lofton, who batted .424 a season ago, is the most experienced out elder on the squad. He’ll stay in center eld.

“Having Lofton back and his experience is a plus and should help (newcomers) Dakota Albers and Hunter Hendrixson get ready to compete,” Garza said. “I like the talent we have available to us, and we’re going to nd the right mix of players to play out there.”

“We also need to nd an everyday, go-to catcher,” Garza said. “ e opening of spring practice and the rst few weeks of the season will provide an opportunity for candidates to grab the starting spots. I’m eager to see who steps up to claim the starting spots. ey have attributes that are very positive and can help us win. But there will need to be someone that steps forward to take the job.

“Finding a solid catcher to take over the duties to catch our experienced pitching sta will be the biggest spot to ll. And if so, they will play a big part in helping start the defense as well as the o ense.”

What the bill would do e biggest proposed changes are: e new bill broadens that, allowing a range of new professionals to le the petitions, including psychologists, social workers, family therapists, counselors, doctors, physician assistants, teachers, school counselors, administrators, school nurses and college faculty, and district attorneys, among others.

• Expanding the list of people who can initiate the “red ag” process.

• Requiring the state to spend money on a public education campaign about the law.

A red ag case begins when someone les a petition in court. Currently, those petitions can be led by law enforcement o cers, and also by individuals close to the person in question. at includes current and former romantic relations, roommates and family members. If a petition is led by anyone else, it is automatically dismissed.

Backers say these professionals are well-positioned to spot warning signs, and that giving them the power to seek a red ag order can serve as a backstop in areas where law enforcement isn’t using the law.

“We have some communities around our state that either can’t, or won’t, le or enforce extreme risk protection orders,” said Senate President Steve Fenberg, referring to the fact that many law agencies have never led an ERPO petition.

Adding new petitioners “provides di erent options,” he said.

Proposal draws objections from sheri s in conservative areas, among others

Sheri Darren Weekly of Douglas County said that people might avoid seeing a counselor if they’re worried it could result in a red ag petition.

“ e very people who will need help will be reluctant to seek it,” he said.

Weekly’s predecessor, Sheri Tony Spurlock, was a key supporter of the original ERPO law.

Weekly also argued that the existing law violates due process protections. A judge can order someone’s guns be taken for up to two weeks without giving them an immediate chance to respond. e red ag law says that a judge must nd a “preponderance” of evidence of a “signi cant” risk before issuing a two-week ban. A one-year ban requires “clear and convincing” evidence, and can’t be issued until the judge holds a court hearing and gives the person an opportunity to respond.

Sheri Joseph Roybal of El Paso County disputed the idea that an expanded red ag law could have stopped the Club Q shooting.

“ is proposed bill is here to try to predict the future or rewrite the past, both of which are awed,” he said.

Authorities in El Paso County have come under heavy criticism because they did not le a red ag petition against the suspect. e suspect had allegedly threatened a mass shooting and engaged in an armed stando with police a year earlier, and authorities con scated the suspect’s weapons at the time. But the court case was dismissed and the suspect faced no known restrictions on acquiring new weapons at the time of the shooting.

However, in his testimony, Roybal indicated the suspect could have acquired the guns illegally — which a red ag order would not have stopped.

“I will tell you, the weapons that were used in that incident would not have applied to ERPO,” Roybal said. He added later: “People are making the assumption the weapons that (the suspect used were) obtained legally.” e American Federation of Teachers’ Colorado branch is supporting the bill.

9News and other outlets have reported that so-called “ghost guns” were used in the attack.

Social worker, teacher, medical groups support proposal, while gun rights group threatens to sue e gun rights group Rocky Mountain Gun Owners has threatened to sue the state, should lawmakers pass the new legislation.

Erik Stone, a commissioner in conservative Teller County, said that teachers aren’t ready to take on the burden of considering red ag petitions.

“It extends responsibilities to people who already have enough on their plate,” he said.
