Open carry in church in Denver?

[hollohas]

I have been carrying concealed w/ one of HBARleatherneck's OWB g43 high ride holsters while wearing a suit jacket. I'm not a big guy and it's not noticeable at all. Very comfortable.

^ This is GREAT church carry and how most of the armed church security do it.

two thoughts:

1) I'm kinda surprised there's any churches in Denver (other than maybe one of those gay United Methodist or Unitarian churches all the hippies go to)
2) Time to start practicing drawing from concealment ... unload your gun and put the ammo in another room and then just practice over and over drawing and re-holstering (this also helps break in a holster ... I'm always amazed how many people never properly break in their holster and then wonder why its so hard to draw out of).

^^ Pfft... Hard to "look prettier" with a well-worn in holster.

Why are you not set up for concealed carry? Pants too tight? Have to keep shirt tucked and can't wear a jacket?

Open carry is optimal for speed, granted. But painting yourself as a target for first engagement of an active shooter negates that imo. Just learn to draw from an open suit jacket.

This is the g43 one he made that I've been carrying:

I have an IWB fromHBar. MMMmm wonder if he'll start doing a prettier pistol holster line. For those more interested in optics than practicality.

A self-defense weapon should be felt, not seen.

Also, I would rather not make myself a primary target by showing I'm a potential threat. I want surprise on my side.

A lot of good thoughts in here:

This thread went in a different direction from the intent of wanting to know about potential legal consequence in communist Denver.

The only time I tuck my shirt in is for weddings, funerals and Sunday morning. So my holster choices pretty much reflect that. For example I have an iwb holster for my glock 20 that I've had for 15 years.

I also put my keltec p3at back in unreliable status until I get that thing better figured out, and I don't like that pistol much anyways. I do have an OWB holster for the HK USP compact and I do have one jacket that's 24 years old that probably should be retired. With the weather getting colder I probably could make do with that rig with a few adjustments. All that still requires a noticeable wardrobe update for myself (and retiring of more than long sleeve button shirts I only ever wear to church).

The answer, in short, is no.

Don't do it open in Denver, man. Google up Rick Stanley and see where that got him.

Odd about Castle Rock. Totally didn't know that. When I lived there, a buddy and I used to go to Waffle House all the time w/ OC. Cops were always in there. We even asked once what the Castle Rock PD's opinion on the matter was and the kind officer replied, "More the merrier. Enjoy your dinner!"

Yes, but the OP was referencing the city and county of Denver. ("Denver city limits")

I wouldn't open carry in our state or any other state. IMO, it's just asking for trouble.
