Yeah, I've read it dozens of times. Like I said, I agree with you but apparently CHP is going to be arresting those that bring a firearm onto state property. I'm not saying it's right but want those of us that are attending to have an idea of what to expect.

Well then CHP is going to be opening themselves up for a lot of litigation, because by arresting folks for legal concealed carry is not lawful under CRS.

as an aside, crowd-wise--this is the last weekend for the Van Gogh exhibit at the DAM, which is a couple of blocks away from the capitol. Also, the sportsman's show is at the convention center--so it'll be busy downtown regardless of the protest

I just called CSP and was told that it is illegal to CCW on capitol property, but they could not give me the CRS stating so.

Anyone wants a ride from Castle Rock to Auraria Campus and back, let me know.

It's good to see this thread picking up steam. I hope we can get 50 from here!

Where will we protest on the Capitol?

See what I posted above... It states inside government buildings, but the grounds outside is fair game. I think a quick call to my neighbor here who's an attorney could clear it up, maybe.

To clarify my previous post, the CSP said CCW on the grounds, not just the building itself, was illegal.

Thanks, and please post up what you hear back on carrying.
