Not too fond of OC?
I OC almost every day (unless I'm at the Capitol, where Denver prohibits via "brandishing" B.S.). Downtown Fort Collins? Greeley? Almost weekly.
And everyone in my office OC's in the office, and often elsewhere.
Seriously: where were you in 1994-2003, when we debated this stuff? I was at the Capitol...every day..... taking a beating for not selling out.
The 9 year battle for "Shall Issue" concealed carry was brutal. And those very few people (I don't know of one actual lobbyist except myself) and thankfully larger number of legislators who stood firmly against step backwards were called every name in the book.
SB03-25, which was the preemption law (is, for that matter), originally stated that no municipality could ban open carry.... but then it was compromised by the NRA (another brilliant strategic move, which I'm sure Gray here will applaud).
Anyone who even uttered "Open Carry" was shushed. (much like anyone who pushed Constitutional Carry).
Thankfully, I don't take shushing well.
So, if you're actually asking about RMGO's/my opinion of open carry, there you have it.
If you're trying to poke a sharp stick our way, I'll push back.
