Hey all,
The section of our CCW legislation (and I think it probably applies to OC as well) setting forth where we can and cannot carry our handgun CRS 18-12-214 Authority granted by permit - carrying restrictions says:
(2) A permit issued pursuant to this part 2 does not authorize a person to carry a concealed handgun into a place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law.
I think these locations are (1) federal buildings, (2) national parks, (3) airport security bubble (see the recent Atlanta court case where they want to extend this to the entire airport property: http://www.ajc.com/fayette/content/business/stories/2008/06/30/airport_gun_showdown.html
) (4) military posts, (5) US Post Office. Did I miss any?
Concerning the US Post Office....Close to my house here in Boulder, a new post office opened up outsourced (if that's the correct word) to Ace hardware. That is, inside ace hardware is the post office, an honest to god, real post office station, whose employees are actually contracted thru ace hardware....they are ace hardware employees, but it is a true post office. So, maybe you can see where i'm going with my question....
Is it legal for me to carry CC (or OC for that matter) inside this Ace hardware store? If so, how close can I get to the post office section, which is in the back, before I am breaking this federal prohibition of carrying in a post office?
Thanks!
