We arrived in Colorado about noon on Sunday. Came in through Kansas on I70. Got to the welcome center/rest area and I put on the paddle holster, loaded my Taurus 24/7 and put it on my hip.
We drove on into Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. Here is the list of places I have open carried so far:
STARBUCKS!!!!
Liquor store in Manitou
Pike National Forrest campground past Woodland park.
Loaf & Jug Woodland park
Safeway Manitou
Walked the main strip in Manitou
Several stores in Manitou
Little rock shop in Cascade
Hotel (little mom and pop place)
Garden of the Gods
Through downtown Colorado Springs around 7pm
Into a Tibetan store in COS...FREE TIBET!!!
Liquor store in Old Colorado City
Well, that is our trip so far. NO negative reactions at all.
The places I did not carry:
Clerk and recorder office....Did I mention we got married? The recorder office had a sigh that said something to the effect of "the display of weapons is not allowed."
Goodwill store-Back home all the Goodwill stores have "no weapons" signs...This one turns out did not though.
Phantom Canyon Brewing (an AWESOME brew pub in COS.) Had Colorado Bison burgers and a couple great local brews. I asked my new bride where she wanted to go to dinner after we said the "I dos" at Garden of the Gods. She said..."Hey, how about that brew pub we passed yesterday."....I love my wife.
My new bride has always been a little skittish about guns but she is now getting really comfortable around then.
Note: I NEVER carry while consuming alcohol. The liquor store stops were for good local beer to enjoy at the end of the day when I am not armed.
