While the majority of Colorado is about hunting, fishing and the outdoors and NOT skiing and snowboarding, I’ll go out on a limb that it has a pretty healthy gun culture. Regardless of what gun laws the Dems have been able to pass.
Boulder is radical anti-gun, liberal city. City leaders tried to pass their an “assault weapons” ban and a high cap magazine ban awhile back. And I think there was something about registration in there as well, but not positive on that.
Could it be that another reason he chose was because he was confident there would be no one toting a pistol to shoot back?
I agree. Our son shops at this store and lives within a mile of it. I'd never thought of it as a Jewish store - just a nice, big grocery that stocks plenty of fresh and healthy food to appeal to its customer base. I'm sure they have a selection of Kosher foods, along with lots of vegan options and bulk trail mix. There are many grad students living in the area - sharing sky-high rent among several people to live in mid-century ranch-style houses. The prevailing politics are of the college town left, with gun control a priority. Between gun restrictions and anti-gun sentiment, he was unlikely to encounter an armed citizen in this community.
