Hipster that I am, I am all over the whole LoDo scene and I gotta say I agree with the core of your arguement, that the people who we are "against" are everywhere, socializing publicly and getting their opinions heard by the majority, the fence sitters who really hold our futures in their hands. We need to do the same.
Let's face it, lots of stereotypes are in place for a reason. The crazy gun-nut afraid to take the light-rail without a full combat load. The uneducated rural bumpkin who chugs PBR with a dip in his mouth. The redneck who considers Mossy Oak Brush "dressed up." Sadly, these are the opinions I see in this thread. I mean, really, Chilis is great and all, yum yum, but this is supposed to show that certain territories have not been won by the lefties.
LoDo is the frontlines and we can't back down.
I am probably one of the guys most of the "old timers" hate at first glance. I'm young, a college student, and dress really preppy and ride my bicycle pretty much everywhere. I am also a Combat Medic (68W) who just got back from Kandahar, a new hunter, and AR-15 uberenthusiast. I consider myself a soldier in the war against guns, and the battles aren't taking place at the gun ranges. Anti-gunners don't generally GO to gun ranges, they drink WINE (which is delicious, btw, and I am gonna drink a LOT of it.) and we need to have calm discussions with people in the community to change our image.

Sorry for the wall-of-word, I registered just to post this.
