I believe legal action could produce a victory for freedom, so good luck! However, your argument about the privileges and immunities clause will go no where do to the slaughter house cases. Your best chance for making a difference would be to challenge the open carry ban (which you are) and Denver's ban on "AWs." On the open carry front, you could most likely win with a new CO Supreme Court ruling vindicating the fact that it violates preemption. Or in federal court, Scalia makes it very clear in Heller that open carry is a right reaffirmed in the Second Amendment. Also in Heller, the court ruled a ban on handguns was unconstituional. They did not specify what kind of hanguns (revolvers vs semi-autos), they struck down a ban on all handguns. So you could argue that since semi-autos are in common use and the Supreme Court struck down a ban on all handguns (including semiautos), a ban on semi-auto rilfes aka assault weapons is unconstitutional. How can semiauto handguns be constitutionally protected but not semiauto rifles?

I have a CCW which is legal in the entire state. I can carry in a bar and anyplace else, absent a metal detector in a government building. That OC is prohibited in Denver County is of little consequence to me. A large city is the last place I'd open carry for a multitude of reasons. CO is one of the most gun friendly states in the union, and El Paso County the most in CO. If these rights are threatened, I will fight it in any way necessary. Don't think CO gun owners are lazy as a group; we're merely happy to live here with the current laws. That being said, I've already posted my thoughts on this case--where it's a loser and where I hope he prevails. Nothing personal intended in any way, but if he posts on this forum he can expect replies, both pro and con.

Speak for yourself, and not for me. I am not happy with the laws here and too wish them to be changed.

I always speak for myself. What do you want changed? Outside of the Denver County, that is, which I agree with you on.

I want denver county changed. I want the state to all be under the same law, since this should be a state matter, and not a city matter.

And that's different than what I said in what way?

You said OC in denver was of little consequence. It's of great consequence to me, and I want that changed. I'm not at all happy with how the laws are - there's a dividing line that shouldn't be there.

It is of little consequense with respect to how I prefer to carry a pistol in a large city. That they ban OC I disagree with, as the rest of the state does not. I fully support that law being overturned.
