Hello, I am visiting Colorado soon, and want to clarify a few things first. For informational purposes, I do not have a CCW, so these questions will be for someone with no permit. As I have read through your forum, I am confused on a couple things:
1. On the Travel Map on OCDO, it shows Open Car Carry with no restrictions, however on the Colorado Main Page, it says that the Gun must be clearly visible. Which is it? No restrictions usually means I have my choice of clearly visible, Glove box, between the seats, etc.
2. The Restaurant Carry map shows no restrictions as well. Can I OC in an Applebees, and haveA beer while doing so? Obviously, I am not wanting to drink excessively, but I want be clear on the law. Here in AZ, we can not even be in an establishment that serves alcohol, whether we are drinking or not.
3. If there is a business posted on the door, "No Firearms", can I still enter anyway? I know I must leave immediately if the business manager or owner asks me to, but what about just a sign without being asked to leave?
4. Am I required to inform a cop that there is a firearm in the car if I am stopped?
5. I know Denver gets away with denying my right to OC, and Open Car Carry. Can I still carry in my glove box fully loaded, or somewhere else in the car that is concealed?
6. Is there any other locality (City of County) in Colorado that has the legal ability to deny me OC or Open Car Carry? If so, which localities?
7. Can I OC in National Forests in Colorado? State Parks? City Parks? Any restrictions?
8. Is Colorado a "Stop and I.D." State? In other words, if I am walking somewhere, and OC'ing, can a cop stop and demand ID from me? Do I have the right to refuse ID?
I know I have asked a lot of questions, but I want to be clear on what I can and can not do while in your Beautiful State. When answering, can you please cite the law pertaining to my question? Thank you all for the help you will be offering!
