Well first ofall thanks for all the posts i've really enjoyed reading them and it gave me a better understanding of the law and my rights. Its been helpfulto be able to see everything you all have posted. Coming out of the military this is all new to me as i adjust to civilian life.
Obviously i had my first open carry. It was yesterday i walked into the supermarket across from me and walgreens. I wish i had some cool story like these others but it was uneventful i noticed maybe 1 person who actually saw i had a firearm. For the most part people don't even notice. I've yet to be challenged or asked (of which i'm not looking forward to yet). Today i actually worked up the guts to carry up in Boulder (where i work) and at the AMC in Highlands Ranchwhere i live.
I do however have a few questions. I'm fairly clear that i can carry open anywhere but Denver county. However i am a bit unclear as to how i can carry. Can i carry loaded as in condition 1 (round in chamber) I don't see much of a point in having a sidearm if you're not able to use it quickly. Are there any counties or area's that i need to be aware of what condition my weapon is in?
Also I don't yet have my CC permit, i am taking the class this Saturday and should have the paperwork in within the next 2 weeks to Douglas county sheriff. Since the weather is changing its not easy to wear a t-shirt tucked in of course all the time. What constitutes concealed if i wear a swear and some of the material falls over the hand grip, or does 50%, all of the weapon have tobe out of site? Of course having a permit will help with thisbut in the meantime.... what do i need to be aware of.
Finally i spoke with DC Sheriff in regards to the OC laws. He did tell me one thing that i found interesting that when i am in my car with a firearm there needs to be 1 thing between me and my weapon. ie door on the glove box. What about my holster does that count?
Sorry for all the questions but these are a few things i've not been able to find yet in posts on this site. Hopefully someone out there will be able to clear this up.
BTW i have a SIG P220 .45 elite and a blackgalco holster.
