HB11-1205, Constitution Carry, Final Passage Tommorow!

[Anubis]

so until you are 21 you can't conceal it only open carry?

Yes. The bill extends the same right as the CC permit law does now, which requires minimum age 21.

I'm hoping to do a cross country motorcycle ride this summer. Colorado is one of the places i want to check out. If i can't carry in CO, I'll avoid it like the plague.

Regardless whether 1205 passes, vehicle carry of a loaded handgun is legal without permit in Colorado. Open carry is also legal outside Denver without permit. If you can legally own a handgun, you are fine with either of these.

It was just on the news that a bill allowing concealed carry without a county license just passed the house in Colorado. Now it goes to the senate. Wouldn't that be cool if it passed?

I wonder, with the increasing open carry, if this is their way of hiding our guns?

Well, either way, either OC or CC is free. Who cares the reason?

The Senate is the next issue, then Hick. I think if it passes the Senate--means democraps have to support it, Hick will sign it as the will of the people. But I can only go 50-50 on passing the Senate.

Links to your CO Senatorial Resources

If you'd like to e-mail your Sentator, or appear on the floor to testify on this bill, please use the following resources.

Update: The bill passed the House. It will next be scheduled for committee review in the Senate. A committee must be proportional, that is, they're composed of the same proportion of parties as is the entire Senate. Don't be discouraged by the fact the Senate has more Democrats than Republicans, as the bill passed 45 to 25 in the House, so a lot of Dems supported it. If it passes committee review, it will be introduced to the Senate as a whole, for its vote before being forwarded to Governor Hickenlooper.

I called my Senator about an hour ago and received a wealth of information! I was able to give some information, too.

El Paso County won't be a problem. It's the Granny glasses wearing hysterics up north.

Spoke to Dudley @ RMGO, does not believe this will be passed, that the senate will make it die. However, lets be hopeful.

My Senator is John Morse. He's the Majority Leader. He's also one of the more anti-gun members. When it became apparent that this would pass the House, he stated that it would be DOA when it reached the Senate.

I really, really want it to pass partly just to spite him. :lol:

Definitely anti. I think he was the champion of the bill that limited Colorado's recognition of other states' permits to residents of those states.

I hope this passes!!!! I was getting started on getting my CCW until I heard about this, now I'm going to wait and see what happens. I have talked to a few local police and was surprised they didn't support the bill. their reason was it was one less thing they could charge a gangbanger with when they catch them CC.

 

[Anubis]

...it was one less thing they could charge a gangbanger with when they catch them CC.

So, they are arresting a gangbanger for multiple felonies, and they enthuse about adding a misdemeanor charge. Maybe they can catch him spitting on the sidewalk too.

Sportsrider, I would still pursue the training if you haven't. It's good info to have in your arsenal.

 

[Flyer22]

Is that what he said when you called him?

No, I haven't actually contacted him yet about this. That's how he was quoted in the Gazette.

 

[ooghost1oo]

So when's the vote? And how confident are you folks that the Liberal Hick will actually support the will of the people, even though he's likely strongly against Constitutional Carry?
