I have been doing a lot of research on this and have come up with a lot of different answers. Opencarry.org says the minimum age to OC is 18 years old, but it cites nowhere that would prove my case in the event i get harassed by the police.
I asked a police officer about the matter but he said i could only carry it while accompanied by someone at or over the age of 21 to and from the range. But he also said i could not purchase a handgun and could only have it gifted to me, which if my understanding is correct is not the case because i can buy from private sales.
I live with my fiance in an apartment in Lone Tree and her working graveyard shift has attracted a lot of let's say unwanted attention and i feel i need something to protect myself outside of my house. Most recently this attention is from a homeless man who hangs around her place of business, bothers me for money and a place to stay, and talks alot about his experiences as a meth addict even after i tell him to leave me alone.. While he has done nothing to suggest he is a danger to me and therefor the police will not do anything, I want to know that i can hang out with her while she works while armed in case he or several of the other obviously intoxicated individuals that usually harass her escalate their odd behavior.
If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
