Since my run-in with CRPD, I've been working with CO Senator Mark Scheffel on the best way to respond to municipalities who harass OCers. He came up with an excellent suggestion that I want to toss to out to everyone.
He suggested hosting a seminar/training session about carrying firearms in public. We'll cover OC and CC to get the widest support from 2A groups and LE organizations. He thought we could get a few of the County Sheriffs to show up if we talk about CC (Douglas & El Paso at least) and hopefully other local LE organizations. This event would be open to the public AND Colorado LEOs to talk about the carrying options and law related to each. I'd like to find a way to include a few scenarios about whatshould be expected from both the citizen and the LEO duringan LEO encounter. That's where we would be able to teach the local LEOs about what is and is not appropriate, but in a non-confrontational way.
Mr. Scheffel said that he would attend and would try to get other Senators to attend as well (he thought Sen. Greg Brophy certainly come). He also said he'd round up all of the RMGO, CSSA & NRA guys at the capitol, and that we could probably even get one or more of their lawyers to DO the actual seminar, free, with enough support.
Right now I just want to throw this out to you guys and see what you think about it. I know that many people favor a lawsuit but I think if we can get a number of the LEO organizations together in a public forum and let them know what is/is not appropriate or legal, we'd have a better chance of making a good impression than threatening/suingthem. As I've said, this is pretty much HIS idea and I'm trying to find a way to implement it. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.
