    It's my position that anytime you have been disarmed by firearm prohibition at any public facility, whomever made the decision to prohibit self defense is now liable or responsible for the people's safety at their facility.

    If somebody that usually carries gets attacked going to and from a sports stadium, I would support litigation against that entity for taking away a permit holders ability to protect themselves. NFL, MLB and each facility be it Sports Authority or Coors Field has now assumed the responsibility for your protection by not allowing you to carry or providing a place to store your gun when at the game. CCW holders have been every bit as scrutinized and background checked as the average police officer that is carrying inside that same facility.

    I have had to suspend carrying this entire year at the Rockies games, because of the metal detectors. Never felt a need to be armed during the game inside the stadium. I always feel completely vulnerable when walking to and from the game. Have bought ticket packages every year for over ten years. I thought would try it for this one year, this was the last year I will buy Rockies tickets.

    Sort of a hot button issue with me, sorry for the mini rant. I just can't stand arbitrary Gun Spree Zones.

    The reality is that this would never be successful, nor would you want it to be.

    I agree with all of your rant except this part. The average police officer goes thru much more than a CCW permit holder. Poly, psych, home visits, family/friends/neighbors interviewed etc. With that said it's not really relevant, as I believe in constitutional carry.
