there are still places in colorado and wyoming where openly carrying a weapon won't even get you a second glance from the police, unless you're from out of town. Just can't carry them in bars or liquor stores. Unless the liquor store is also the only place to buy bait and Doritos.

i miss small mountain towns. not the hippie ones, the oldskool western ones. the hippie ones are cool too, but they've been co-opted by rich hollywood types. Have you seen Telluride lately? good lord.

open carry is still common in AZ. they are just now proposing a bill that would make it illegal to carry inside of bars and taverns. concealed carry requires a permit, but it is a simple 8-16 hour course.

Yeah, sometimes we call the police that too. But not to their face of course.

LOL<------ I actually did, I'm not just typing that.

in Larryville you can cary a gun.. in public so long as there isn't a bullet in the chamber... uh I dunno about all of that.. I had a gun but sold it due to the fact I DO NOT need to have a gun around.. then again that's me

Troubleshooter · 03-15-2005, 10:09 AM

I wonder how the determine if there is a round in the chamber or not.

there isn't much point in carrying a piece unloaded.

mrnoodle · 03-15-2005, 11:16 AM

unless it's cheap p.o.s. or a single action revolver. don't want an AD.

You aren't prohibited from openly carrying a weapon in Colorado, but different municipalities have different rules. They won't throw you in jail if you carry in Ft. collins, but you will be talked to. Also, if you have a concealed carry permit, you MUST carry concealed, or not at all. You forego the privilege of open carry when you sign the document for concealed carry.

Also, if you have a CCW the info is linked with the CDOT so cops who pull you over know that you're likely armed. Don't get me started.

i don't generally side with the cops, but what is the downside to this? you can't blast your way out of a traffic ticket?

It's an indicator of the 'presumption of guilt' society that we're building.

mrnoodle · 03-15-2005, 12:19 PM

Exactly. And in fact, it places those who have been proven to be law-abiding in a position of less trust than those who haven't. If you pass the background check etc., for CCW, you get put on 'the list.' Incidentally, one of the other things you agree to when you apply for a permit is to immediately notify any police officer who contacts you that you are in possession. The kind of people who receive CCWs are usually more than happy to do so. Why the list?

Interestingly enough, there is no law against concealing a loaded weapon in your car in Colorado - the car is considered an extension of your home. It's only if you have made the effort to be completely aboveboard that you're singled out.

I am not at all amused by the news report that I heard today. Because there have been 22 murders in 9 days in Philadelphia, Shizzhonna da May-Or wants to halt issuance of gun permits.

Call me cynical, but I bet that none of the shooters bothered to do paperwork, either on the purchase of their guns, or on permits to carry.
