I know the thread is over 3 years old. I just put it up so we could see how we stack up with the other states.
After that shooting at the movie theater last night I just can't believe that there wasn't one person carring that could maybe have slowed this ass hat down a little.[Bang]

No doubt man. And stupid movie theaters with their no weapons policies...

I have to believe Colorado is well north of 21,000 ccw permit holders now. It seems to have exploded since 2009. I don't know the stats, or where to get them, but it's definitely trending upward nationwide with CO as no exception.

It makes no sense to me why some businesses think those kinds of policies make their establishment safer.... criminals don't care about laws much less their private policies. I've stopped going to the theaters altogether due to their ever increasing prices...except for the occasional gifted movie ticket. I just assume rent it from redbox or netflix for a buck or two, and if I love it, buy it on DVD/BlueRay for the price of a ticket or two, max.

1) It's too close to Denver to risk carrying
2) Cinemark has corporate anti-gun policies (one reason I prefer to go to Hollywood Theaters)

There is close to that amount in El Paso Co. alone...
remember this story?
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57442339/concealed-weapons-permits-catch-on-in-colo-county/
All live in El Paso County, Colo., home to the most concealed carry permits in the state, 20,000 active licenses in a population of 627,000.
I guess I would be the dumb ass going to jail after this theater thing, because 70 people wouldn't have been shot. Sad thing is they are already talking about metal detectors at the movie now.

There could have been someone carrying- but to be honest, I know I'd think twice about drawing a small pistol against somebody with a shotgun AND rifle...
If I'm ever in the situation, I hope I have the stones, position and luck required to stop them- not for my glory, just to avert the tragedy. If I didn't have the guts to even try, it would eat me up- not like there isn't already plenty of hurt to go around in this situation.

Worthless unless they're at the emergency exits, too- since that's where he brought the guns in... knee-jerk reactions trying to find a way to prevent it from happening again. Why didn't the emergency exits have alarms? Wonder how long before lawsuits are filed?
I am a proponent that if you want to ban weapons in your public facility, you need to ensure EVERYBODY is disarmed... like the requirement for state-owned facilities: metal detectors and armed security.
No weapons policies are probably put in place to avoid lawsuits.

+93485234358435!!! Anything less is naive and irresponsible. And if you are going to ban guns and put in metal detectors, you had better provide armed guards as well, to stop the douche who ignores and rushes through the detector guns blazin'. Otherwise all you did was add the sound of a squealing metal detector to the sound of gunfire.

What drama rag did you read that from? The worse that a place like the movie theater can do is call the police and have you put out with a trespass ticket. Maybe even go so far as to tell you never to come back. No one here is talking about "guns blazing" as you go through a metal decetor. If you had a chance to stop someone from killing 12 people and harming 59 others if you could do it safely, wouldn't you stop the threat?
That's interesting. So if you do get one in, your not breaking "Colorado law", unless they have a strong exemption clause? Just an escorted walk out the door?

Trespass ticket, onlookers thinking you are the next psycho rampage killer, million questions from the on site LEO...
Looks like they copied the info wrong, if you go to the data page, there are 139,000 in Colorado.
Last updated on 2012.
So we either spiked in 4 years or someone was a big dummy when they migrated the data.
