Existence of a "Cheat-sheet", "CRS Reference Guide", or whatever it is called is no excuse for a LEO in Colorado to be "in the dark" regarding State firearm carry law.
LEO's should not be expected to be licensed attorneys at law, but ignorance of such a critical element of Colorado law - or simply "not comfortable" in a given circumstance????
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE:
Most of us on this forum realize that we are involved in a "marketing" effort - due to the fact that most Coloradoans are ignorant of the right to openly carry a holstered handgun under Colorado law, and many of those Coloradoans are a bit uneasy about the practice of OC.
SUCCESSFUL "marketing" must incorporate EFFECTIVE "selling" skills.
"You are apparently ignorant of the fact that Colorado law requires you to buy the product I am selling in the public square. It is important TO ME that you purchase my product, and if you don't buy it RIGHT AWAY I am going to get angry, raise my voice, and create a scene." I am curious as to whether others consider this to be a good marketing approach ?
As I recall the fundamental principles of successful sales are something along the lines of:
(1) Be prepared to provide customer with product KNOWLEDGE, in a friendly, personable manner.
(2) A PLAN of presentation for the product that addresses the CONCERNS OF THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER.
(3) DEMONSTRATE the POSITIVE FACETS of the product FOR THE CUSTOMER to evaluate.
(4) Be RESPONSIVE to any questions that the customer may have concerning your product.
Can this model not also be used when exercising our RTKBA ?
