I saw a gentleman openly carrying a nice 1911 today at the car show in Woodland Park. I did not have the chance to talk with him, and I was not OCing myself....but if anyone else in the large crowd even noticed his gun, they CLEARLY didn't care....of course it was in Teller County.

:eek:

Most people don't care. Those that do usually have enough sense to realize most people don't care.

A couple of weeks ago I was OCing in Manitou Springs, which is a magnet for non-Coloradoans. I saw more heads turning that day towards my firearm than I'd seen throughout the entire month of carrying around town.

I could almost see the dotted text balloon above one woman's head: "Omg! He's got a gun! Is that legal?" and her bf/husband's response, "Shh, don't worry, honey, we'll be safe when we return to New York..."
