Hello all. I'm looking to compile a list of Colorado businesses that DO NOT support our second amendment rights for the purpose of avoiding these places. I wish to respect their rights of private ownership by not patronizing those businesses. Is there a rescource for this information? If not I would love to read here where these places are. Thanks.

Why can't we get a stick added and start our own. First on the list is Jared the galleria of jewelry.
Avoid Cinebarre in Thornton!
A 48-year-old man arrested Sunday night at a Thornton movie theater for wearing a holstered weapon said he was simply exercising his right to bear arms.
"I was a threat to no one. I didn't threaten anybody," said James G. Mapes, who was taken into custody after carrying a handgun into the Cinebarre movie theater at 1001 Grant St.

Good point.
I used to go there alot. Lots of stoned staff members with a gothic look. Never saw a sign stating no firearms. I will be going to Gander Mtn. a few days from now. Next door, so I will look. Bet they have an anti-gun notice now. Food sucks and service is slow. So now three reasons to avoid them.

Does Redbox count? I like redboxxing flick that's been out for a few weeks and watching it in the safety and comfort of my own home for $1. I can even make some damn good popcorn (that's healthier too).
Colorado Mills used to have a "no firearms" policy, not sure if they took it down or not, but I saw Batman there last week and didn't notice any signs. I know AMC down in Parker has signage that says "No firearms," can't recall any others though. I know that Bandimere Speedway has a no firearms policy, or they did a few years ago when I went there, not sure now, I haven't been in forever.

For what it's worth, I went to the Hollywood Theaters on Interquest Parkway this past weekend and there were no anti-gun signs up there.
Kay Jewelers on 144th and I-25 has a big sign on each door.
Promenade movie theaters in Westminster has no gun signs as well.

You sure? Did you look at the ticket windows (http://www.ar-15.co/forums/showpost.php?p=553560&postcount=568)?

Kay Jewelers is Jared ... they're the same company. And they're very political about their opposition to CCW and gun ownership in general ... give a lot of money to VPC/Brady/Et Al.

My wife buys the tickets, i am unable to read anything that has NO at the beginning of a sentence. To be honest unless a noticeable sign is at eye level on the front door, who looks?? In NoCo almost every place has posters and notices informing you of the latest concert, happening or protest, after a while they all look the same.
FWIW: The No Firearms signs are the owners position and not law. They can ask you to leave the premises and or call the law. This is why Concealed means Concealed.

I understand that thinking and honestly there's been times when I had to go into a business that was posted and I ignored their little sign.
HOWEVER, I still see "no guns" signs as a bigoted political statement and I really don't want to support businesses owned/run by small minded bigots any more than I have to.

Agree. but really who can even see let alone look for the sign. When it's eating time i see nothing but a menu:)
Glad I didn't spend money at Kay then.

Yes I did. Specifically looked for the signs and there were none to be seen.

Just drove by there tonight to verify, and I'm ecstatic to report that there are in fact no longer no firearms signs at the Hollywood theater! So I'll be taking advantage of that fact and seeing the 4:15 showing of Atlas Shrugged II there tomorrow!

Because my report wasn't good enough? :P

They have a sign? [Tooth] Never kept me from carrying into that theater and never will.

I really tried to avoid that implication. Please, I didn't mean to offend, I had seen the original signs, you hadn't, so I just wanted to make absolutely sure that they were gone before I showed up for Atlas Shrugged.

Which is a selfish, unprincipled, hypocritical position to take (don't violate my rights, but it's OK if I violate yours), but we've already beaten that dead horse several times.

Interestingly, the "No Firearms" signs at the ticket window for the Colorado Spring Cinemark/IMAX at First & Main Town Center seem to have disappeared. I generally stopped using the shopping center at all due to their subtly posted ban but went to Iron Man 3 at the IMAX and noticed the signs were no longer present. I wonder if the company finally got the message or if it was just the local manager; I may stop by First & Main to see if they still have a general ban or not.

Yep, First and Main still prohibits firearms except when carrying to the car after purchase. Bah.

[edit: I hadn't seen this until now or I would have had the same response.]
I hope you're being sarcastic.
In what manner precisely would I have violated your rights by exercising my legal right to carry?
In the state of Colorado, the signage is MEANINGLESS and I have no legal obligation to obey it. My only obligation is to vacate the premises if asked to do so by management or ownership - for any circumstance.
I do also take serious offense to being labeled "unprincipled."
+1 brutal, it is in no way hypocritical, those signs are meaningless, and contradictory, if you're walking with a gun, do you really want someone to leave it in say, a bush outside, rather than on their person?
When I see the "No Firearms" signs I just laugh and walk right on in. Which is one more reason I say conceal-carry is far superior to open-carry. If it's concealed, it's concealed...period. I'm choosing to not be a victim because of some garbage policy. Now, that being said, I do my hardest to not do business at places which don't support my 2nd Amendment right.

While I support the right to carry, you're being obtuse here. You violate the property owners rights by carrying despite his/her expressed wish that you not do so on his/her property. In the state of Colorado, the sign is NOT meaningless, it is an expression of their desired conduct on their property and you DO have the same obligation to obey that as you do a "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" sign at a store or restaurant. Sure, there are no criminal penalties for violating their property rights until you refuse to leave the property when asked to do so but that doesn't take away from the fact that you are violating their private property rights.
Now, if you want to say you are engaging in civil disobedience, that's fine. The history of civil disobedience is one of breaking rules and even laws in the pursuit of a greater good (as long as you're willing to abide by the consequences like being asked to leave or even being banned from the property) -- but it IS a violation of the owners' rights.

In a way, I see your point. For the sake of argument then, let's just label me "disobedient" as I will continue to CC except where specifically prohibited by law.
From my point of view, the property owner has no right to deny me the right to defend myself, just as the government, or any other person, has no right to tell me how many rounds I can use to defend myself. I can then either chose to ignore their, in my opinion, ill informed decision to prohibit firearms on their property, or chose not to patronize them. I made my choice and I stand by it.

Although, one good reason to go to Chuck-E-Cheese - if you're considering having more than one child. Go there on a Saturday around noon. You will want to leave and go buy a dog.
