Hello, I live in colorado springs and I have a couple questions. First of all, I have contacted El Paso County Sheriff's Department and the Colorado Springs Police department and they have both said yes to me carrying a hand gun a 18 as long as it is not hidden. Now of course I'm not able to purchase a handgun from an FFL dealer but I can from a private party. Now if I'm stopped will law enforcement ask me if the gun is in my name or will they be able to look it up? My hand gun was purchased a couple years back by my parparents so it may be in their name. Also does the hand gun have to be unloaded? I just want to get a feel for some of the rules. Once again thanks and I'm sorry if this a been asked before I just don't want to get in trouble with the law and not be able to become an officer in the feature.
