Craigslist Heist

[rondog]

Big red flag to me is when someone approaches and their head is swivelling, looking all around them like they're scanning for cops, whether it's a transaction or parking lot, or anywhere. That's the body language I watch for the most. Anybody coming towards you while obviously looking for danger is up to no good, IMO.

FWIW, I've done a ton of transactions like this, mostly from members here, with nary a problem. Heh, I bought some brass in a parking lot from a LEO member here, and I'd bet $20 that the guy sitting in the pickup a few spaces behind us was there as his backup!

Yes, I spotted him, and it made me smile! Like a fat, gimpy old cracker like me could be a threat.....

What would happen in a case like the above, if you were carrying but didn't have a ccw permit? What if he pulled a gun on you and you defended yourself? What kind of legal battle are you up against?

If I remember correctly, in Colorado your vehicle is an extension of your home and you are legally able to carry concealed in your vehicle.

Good answer! Now riddle me this... How far from your vehicle are you permitted to stand before you are no longer in your vehicle?

By merely carrying a concealed weapon (without proper documentation), you could be charged with a Class 2 Misdemeanor under 18-12-105 ( http://www.michie.com/colorado/lpext...-frame.htm&2.0 ).

If you had to unholster your weapon and, God forbid, use it against another human being, the charges will become significantly more stringent.

Colorado is a "Shall Issue" State. If you want to carry a concealed pistol, exercise your Legal Right by going through the proper process of applying for a CC permit.

I never really worried about that as I do have my permit, but it would be good info for someone to know if they did make the decision to carry in their vehicle without one.

I know it's legal to carry in your own home, and in your car. But what about using your firearm in a situation like that?

I have a ccw and I didn't carry concealed until I got one. I would think that I would rather be charged with some sort of crime for using my firearm over the risk of being shot by some jerk hole.

I always carry when meeting anyone...but I carry any time I am outside the house and usually have a gun or ten laying around ready to roll if needed.
