Please excuse my ignorance im traveling to Castle Rock because my mother in law ( :banghead: ) wanted us to be there for her birthday. Instead of going home for my 1st christmas in the states since 2009. Any who i've been trying to study up on Colorado laws and everything seems pretty reasonable except for the Denver area. Im curious what are the atmospherics like in CR?
I've OC'd numerous times when passing through on my way each month to Aurora. I've hit restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations without incident. Was at the pump next to a State Trooper just last Friday and only conversation was "Good afternoon."
CR's code is located at
http://colocode.com/CastleRockpdf.html. Particular section is 9.04.165: "9.04.165 Open carry of firearms.
It is unlawful for any person, except law enforcement officers in the performance of their duties, to openly carry a firearm in any Town-owned or -operated building, or on any Town-owned or -operated park, recreation area or property upon which the Town Manager has directed to be posted a notification that the carrying of firearms is prohibited. (Ord. 2003-41 §1, 2003)"
I haven't run into business with signs posted, but if I ever do, I'll take business elsewhere. The convenient Starbucks not far at all from the gas station I stop at also no longer enjoys my monthly visit.
Enjoy CR. It's a pretty cool place, just watch your speed on I-25. 65 is 65 and there's always law enforcement watching.
