Talk about a total waste of State Tax payer money.....

CDOT has a very clear policy of NO "weapons" on CDOT property at any time unless it is a requirement of your job duties.
This also applies to private contractors on CDOT projects and property.
I as well would like to know just what position a weapon is a requirement for CDOT job duties.
Unfortunately I have been out of the system for a year so I cannot quote the exact policy/directive. I would like to see in writing where the No Weapons policy has been rescinded.
The CCW statute came into effect when I was a TMIII, I would have known in a change in policy/directive.
I even pushed the fact up the chain- how can a state entity forbid a permitted concealed permit holder from carrying on state property? The statute is clear that private property owners may forbid the carrying of a concealed weapon but there is no such provision for state property. In addition how can a state entity openly defy state law and constitution?
I never got a coherent answer and even Legal never provided any insight.
I also asked if CDOT denies a lawfull and permitted individual from carrying, what duty does CDOT have to protect their employees?
Crickets.
Hell, they even gave me grief at headquarters for my Gerber Fairburn/Applegate I carried daily.
If they only knew....

Thanks Bert, and guess what, CDOT' does not have any public links ( at least that I could find ) to this policy on the interwebz. Guess I'll have to dig up a current Employee handbook, then copy and paste it.

You will have to look on the internal website Bobbo, under Policy and Procedure, more than likely under the Personnel tab. It may be contained in Workplace Violence, which IIRC is 17 and 17.1

That being said prior to the Greeley incident in which Charlene Nail was killed and Karla Harding was wounded we used to shoot our pistols in the salt dome at the old Wadsworth Shed that housed patrols 13,14 and 25 on snow shift at night.
There were a lot of 230gr pumpkin heads that were tossed out on 36 in a drop box sander.
Oh, and a .45 is really, really loud in a salt dome.
