lakewood pd

My opinion. Lakewood PD has some of the most professional police in Colorado. Adams county sheriff is good as well. My worst interaction was with Thornton PD.

thornton...

Short story, someone called pd because the seen me pump gas while OC. 120 & Colorado.
LEO pulls up and very rudly demands to know why I am carring a weapon ( I'm heading to the mountains) . He then tells me how I'm scarring people and that if I do not want to find my self in a bad situation I should leave it in the car. ...then I made a comment about how he should leave his too.... Then he called me a smart ass. And how he would cite me if he gets called again.
Sorry for the short version by am typing on my phone.

Well they finally got around to fixing the code
Sec. 75-262. Unlawful open carrying of deadly weapons in city buildings, parks, trails, open spaces or recreation areas.permanent link to this piece of content
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to openly carry any deadly weapon upon the grounds of or within any building or facility owned or leased by the city, or any department or agency thereof.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to openly carry any deadly weapon within or upon any city park, trail, golf course, athletic field, camp ground, aquatic center, recreation area or open space.
but they failed to mention that state law requires a 30.06 sign to be posted for any local ordinance to take effect.

The city attorney had this to say in response to an email:
Thank you for your email. As I read the state statute, the posting requirement need not be included in the ordinance itself, rather posting is a requirement of the state statute if the ordinance is adopted.

:rolleyes:

Here's the State statute:
29-11.7-104. Regulation-Carrying-Posting

A local government may enact an ordinance, regulation, or other law that prohibits the open carrying of a
firearm in a building or specific area within the local government's jurisdiction. If a local government enacts
an ordinance, regulation, or other law that prohibits the open carrying of a firearm in a building or specific
area, the local government shall post signs at the public entrances to the building or specific area informing
persons that the open carrying of firearms is prohibited in the building or specific area.

IMHO simply putting the two words "where posted" onto the end of each section would have been the honorable (and legal) thing to do. Then again, we are talking about a government entity where there seems to be very little integrity anymore :mad::banghead:
