Hello fellow coloradans/opencarry enthusiast!
Found this website on my quest to find as much info on opencarry laws (As the State of Colorado makes it very difficult to find concrete and clear laws on opencarry!)
in the state of colorado, and i am very impressed on the knowledge and friendlyness of the people on this forum.
I live in Weldcounty (specifically Greeley), and have seen very few people openlycarry their firearms around local walmarts, restaruants, etc. (As i work the evening shift and stay up late in the morning.)
and am very interested in openlycarrying my firearms (My main is a Glock 22 .40 s&w) with a On-The-Waist holster.
and my main concern is the "Loaded/Unloaded" rule, i have read/heard people say that having a Round in the Chamber qualifies as "Loaded"
as to having a loaded magazine/clip in the pistol WITHOUT a round chamber is considered "Unloaded", just wanted to see if i could get some clarification.
Also i recently aquired a Ruger LCR with a Leather Holster (But without a thumb break, from what i have read, specific holsters are not specified for opencarry use.), and wanted to know how the "Loaded/Unloaded" rule applies to
Revolvers style handguns (Specifically a hammerless revolver, as the Ruger LCR is Hammerless and it is only double action) i.e. can i have the revolver's cylinder loaded fully with 6 rounds when opencarrying, even though it doesnt have a hammer(I guess this would be the equilevant for a pistols ability to pull the slide back and chamber a round as to a revolver with hammer being able to pull back the hammer to fire (If it is single/double action)).
Thanks for the future inquires, hope to get some advice, so that my experience can be more smooth in this great state of Colorado!
