WOW. I didn't know that. Let's hope that now that the DemocRATS are in the majority, that doesn't change. I'm happy to hear that Colorado actually abides by the second amendment!
Government buildings in Colorado are off limits if they have metal detectors at entrances. Court rooms are almost always off limits.
When I got my first permit, there was a “rules sheet” the El Paso Cnty sheriff handed out.
It has a list of places you couldn’t carry. One was “any establishment that makes more than 40%” of their revenue in alcohol sales (liquor stores, and bars, certain restaurants).
County and Federal buildings and several other places. Schools were specifically on that listing.
Each county had it’s own rules, and some were much more stringent than our county.
Denver CO refused to give anyone a permit, and ARRESTED people they stopped who happened to be passing through and were armed. They confiscated their weapon, arrested them, put them in jail and confiscated their cars as well.
The state legislators finally, finally passed rules saying that ALL counties had to follow the SAME rules.
A few days ago I was under the misapprehension that “liquor stores” and such like that were still “on the list”. I’ve since checked with several organizations, and re-read the CCW laws and found that there are NO places that are off limits.
The noted exception is inside Federal buildings (and specifically places with permanent, in-place metal detectors like court houses, etc which are county and city buildings).
But, banks, churches and the friendly, neighborhood liquor stores are no longer “off limits”. School property, inside the school is off limits, but I can be armed on school property if I am in my car, or if my weapon remains in the car when I go inside).
It is LEGAL to have a CONCEALED weapon in your CAR when you are traveling around the state (EVERY county, including DENVER COUNTY!) whether you have a permit or NOT. Your car is considered, in this state, like your “residence”.
I hope that clears up some misinformation that some people have given you.
by the way, I’m NOT a lawyer, I’m not practicing law, and I would always advise you to CHECK THE RULES/LAWS yourself for your own areas and be clear on them before you do anything. (Thats for everyone)
