Maybe it's time for an "OC - Occupy Denver".
Not quite THAT in-your-face, but perhaps a bit more subtle ?
Having had a fair amount of experience dealing with the Texas version of NO open carry, perhaps we need to think outside the box on this issue.
The Colorado Constitution provides that the RIGHT of NO PERSON to not only "keep", but also BEAR arms in defense of their home, person, and property SHALL NOT be brought into question -
BUT ........ the practice of carrying concealed weapons is excluded from that RIGHT. Therefore the concealed carry of a handgun is NOT the exercise of said RIGHT in Colorado.
Now does the "Home Rule" argument REALLY trump the Colorado Constitution's guarantee of a RIGHT of citizenship ???? I know - the courts say..............but they have a propensity to stand logic on its head. What EXACTLY is "open carry" in Colorado ? "Display" ? - Recognizable as a handgun ? HMMMMMmmm
I have a hunch that the the proverbial, and often ambiguous "gray area" abounds even in Denver on this one.
Is there an "intentional" display component to the Denver ordinance ? Just some of my provocative thoughts.
What about an openly displayed "FULL holster " - when the "object" filling it is NOT displayed.
That's begging for abuse. This fight is best won with the legislature.
Meh. I like the idea. Form of peaceful protest and all. Kind of like a shirt that reads "I'm Armed" or "Concealed Carrier" or some other thing.
