Howdy Folks!
I am brand new to this forum, and this is like my 2nd post since signing up. I am also pretty darn new to firearms ownership. I purchased several firearms in the past month, primarily for home protection. These are the first weapons I've owned in something like 30 or 35 years, and I am concerned with open carry rights in Colorado.
It had been my hope that HB-1205 would find its way into law, but it looks like that measure is stalled and unlikely to see passage in this session of the General Assembly. But hey, Colorado is an open carry state, right?
Now with that in mind, I live in Aurora and work in Brighton. As I checked out the forum, I saw where one man was given trouble while openly carrying in Loveland, and another in a Kohls store in Aurora. These incidents beg certain questions from a tenderfoot like me.
First question is what jurisdictions respect the right of a citizen to open carry, and what jurisdictions will make life troublesome for that same citizen?
It is my understanding that Denver, contrary to the state Constitution, does not seem at all deterred from banning open carry.
So the question is where is open carry permissible, and where is it likely to result in hassle?
Surely do thank ya'll for any insight you might share on such questions as a new gun owner might ask.
Blessings,
