    Has the issue of CC and OC at the State Fair been resolved?

    This was discussed about two years ago on this forum. Conclusion was that even though they do not have the right to prohibit CC, but likely (but not certainly) have the right to prohibit OC, they are prohibiting CC anyway. Here is the CO law concerning CC with permit...

    So I was walking around in Manitou Springs...

    I saw that they were having an Obama rally in the park, and being the rascal that I am... There were probably about 40 people there, which included a couple of Manitou cops for part of the time. Well, no one said a word. I petted the Obama mascot horse, smiled at the people at the booths, and...

    I think that theColorado Spring police have gotten the message about OC in city parks

    I rode my bike over to Memorial Park to see what was going on today, but the balloon area was pretty deserted. I watched the skateboarders for a while, chatted with a guy that was running his RC boats in the lake, and then headed back home. I went past the infamous Acacia park where the fellow...

    OC in Acacia Park and downtown yesterday.

    Yesterday, I went with a friend to Taco Star on Wasatch. I suggested that we take a walk over to Acacia Park. He has always been sort of intrigued by OC, but still unsure about it. He asked me "So if you get stopped by the cops, can I get in trouble too?" I told him that in light of recent...

    On the way home from the Franktown BBQ.

    You might remember me as the guy with the SKS rifle strapped to his bike (And hopefully not the jackass that had his gun fall out of his holster, and then muzzle swept Mel while inspecting for damage. Sorry, Mel, I still feel bad about that.) Well, I had a wonderful ride home. A nice fellow...

    Well, I did visit a church while OCing this Morning. It went OK, but there was a snag

    There were only a couple of people in the foyer when I walked in. The first person that noticed me looked at me with wide eyes. I sat down next to him, and he said "Are you wearing a gun?' I said "Yes Sir." He said "Why? I responded "Well, I have a reason, bit I am not interested in discussing...

    Ever open carry at church?

    I have thought about this for a while, and if I have the nerve, I will do it tomorrow. Just for the heck of it, I sent the Pastor at a Church in Colorado Springs an email last night telling him that I planned to visit while OCing this Sunday morning, and told him that he had the option of...

    Question about open carrying with a British tourist.

    I was talking to a Brit on a forum and told him that if he makes it to Colorado we can take an open carry stroll together. A firearms dealer on the forum told me that it would be a violation of Federal law. My take on it, is that if it is my gun, and he is with me while carrying it, he is not...

    So I think open carry just got me out of a parking ticket.

    I was cruising around beautiful Manitou Springs, CO yesterday on my motorcycle, and I stopped to get a drink from the mineral spring on Ruxton Ave. I was carrying my 1911 in a thigh rig. Manitou Springs is well known for their zero tolerance and enthusiastic enforcement of everything. There...
