Does anyon know what the restrictions are for carry in a Casino?

if i read the law right, you can't carry there if the busines
has armed security guards in place
51% of their income if from alcohol
has metal detectors

so the question would be are the rent a cops at the casino armed. because they dont make any money from liquor and dont have metal detectors. i go to a casino once every couple years so i dont know

[KarlPMann]

No, they aren't. :twisted: So carry at will. But if you ask a Gaming Cop, they say you can't carry. They try to get you to buy that BS, and if you don't, they threaten to arrest you. Just like all tax collectors, a bunch of NAZIs. Karl. :evil:

51% from alcohol? Armed guards? Where's that in the statutes?

its in the packet you fill out for your CCP

[motorep]

No, it's not. Buildings secured by manned metal detectors, K-12 public schools, federal buildings. Cite the statute, please.

the not carring in a place about the alcohol is a federal statute i will look it up later


the part about security guards is in the packet to get a ccp you can look on packing.org, i may not be quoting it on the money but if i remember it says something like that, but im not exactly sure.

You are wrong no such federal law exists. The only law in CO is you can not be intoxicated and armed. You can carry any place alcohol is served as long as you don't drink and become intoxicated.

Some states have a 51% law such as Texas that is state law not federal.

Karl and Motorep are correct in everything they have said.

[KarlPMann]

Part of the problem is that people are remembering and quoting older laws. At one time, you couldn't carry in an establishment that got the majority of it's revenue from the sale of alcohol intended to be consumed on premises. Now, you just can't carry if you are intoxicated. The problem with that is that the courts tend to enforce that to mean NO ALCOHOL!

my bad

[Mule]

I've had to go back and read the new laws carefully too. There are so many misinformed people, hollywood laws and mis quoted laws that it will make your head spin.
HunterCO and KarlPMann have a pretty good grasp on this sruff. Sometimes we come at it from different angles, but end at the same spot......

Somehow, I don't think I would feel at all comfortable in a casino w/o my pistol.

6735, 9-24-01; Ord. No. 7020, §2, 7-28-03)

I don't know what "municipality" those are from, but it's no longer relevant. The state made a law that supercedes local governments and that law is currently undergoing scrutiny in the courts. At any rate, even if the law is reversed, those laws you just cited are only relevant in the city that passed them.

I don't know about Central City and Blackhawk, but Cripple Creek has no such laws on the books. Karl.
