Notice they arrested him for a non-existant law, then the prosecutor had to dig to try to come up with something to charge him with.

The city should apologize quickly before it costs them money.

What happened a couple weeks ago is all the more reason to carry.

and now he has an arrest to try to explain to anyone and everyone he tries to do business with.

I hope it costs them money.

Then they should apologize.

This guy should sue the cops involved and the DA until they’re dead broke and starving. Have them stripped of their indemnity for willful violations of Civil Rights under false color of authority.

I totally empathize with the guy except on one point: context is king in matters like this.

Let’s see: Denver, Theater, Gun, Recent Incidents; what are the odds people would act differently this time than they did all the other times he carried in a theater.

Notwithstanding that this guy is the type of fellow who would have prevented a lot of what happened last month; that is bound to be lost on the 1) liberal bleeding-heart who reported him, and 2) the theater official who called the 3) cops who took the report.

If it’s me, in that context, I either 1) stay away from the movies, or 2) don’t pack openly. Context.

I wonder what the charge in Colorado is if an off duty officer goes berserk and shoots 70 shots into an occupied jail cell.

And if he should do this, can he still accept thank you cards from out of state?

City must have too much money.

“We’ve turned it over to the City Attorney’s Office,” said Police Department spokesman Matt Barnes. “They’ll decide whether to add charges, remove some or dismiss them.”

Translation: Depending on the "mood" we're in, we'll get together with the City Attorney's Office to decide whether to screw this guy out of his civil rights, or let him go.

in NY, if you have a concealed weapon permit, it MEANS concealed... you can be arrested for open carry

It should cost them money anyway for false arrest. The City should know better.
