Are there any gun toting attorneys that anyone knows of that would be will to join us?

I have been reading the Loveland city ordinances and so far have not found anything that states that individuals can not carry a firearm in a park or with city limits. Since I am not an organization or individual holding a rally, merely seeking a chance for people to meet with one another who have a common interest, I do not think that I have to apply for a permit(stupid concept anyway, "Dear Mr. Overload of the City may I gather together with friends on land that I have paid taxes to help fund"). Does anyone know if I would need to apply for a permit to have a friendly get together in the park?

YOU REALLY ARENT VERY INFORMED OR INTELLIGENT ABOUT HOW THE BUSINESS WORLD WORKS ARE YOU...

BUSINESS'S AND GOVT'S DO NOT PAY SETTLEMENTS OUT OF THEIR TAXPAYERS POCKET, THEY CARRY ERRORS AND OMISSIONS AND JUDGMENT INSURANCES, THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAYS THE SETTLEMENT OR JUDGEMENT, ..... NOT THE TAXPAYERS...

as with any insurance underwriter, risk is directly translated to cost.

breaking it down simple, The more your insurance has to pay out (Judgments), the more you have to pay in premiums (Taxpayer).

so if your City PD is running a string of civil liberty abuses and has $millions every month in judgments against them, I can guarantee your premiums are going through the roof, as well as your budget.

You are corrected.

LE doesn't post here because of the not-so-recent policy changes adopted by most departments... That is, if you DO post in a public forum, you cannot identify yourself or in any way indicate which agency you work for. There have been a few guys zapped for using an alias (Douglas Cnty) and NOT identifying themselves as working for a particular agency, only to have some asshat citizen whine to a particular news organization (9News) that posted the comments, then 9News violated the anonymity of the cops login ID and outed him as working for Douglas Cnty. In his case he didn't use his real name or indicate his agency, but some f**ktard news whore decided he was going to mess with the guy's job.

It's not unusual. Frankly I used to get all kinds of flak from people who might learn that I worked for LE, they ask me "Where" and I politely decline to tell them. People out in the world will call into your department and make all kinds of claims about your conduct in the world when you are off-duty. All they think they need to know is your name and your agency. The agency MUST investigate the validity of the claim. I've gotten called a lot of names (mostly by women) when I would refuse to say where I worked.

We get stalked unknowningly every time someone knows what we do for a living. So most just dont say anything aside from "I work for the city".

And posting here as an active LEO? You really think some cop is going to risk his job by POTENTIALLY saying something his/her command staff disagrees with? They don't have to have a reason to mess with you, they can/will/do mess with you for a "potential" problem.

So LE's here might not ever render an absolutely honest opinion, and if you know someone on here who IS LE and you consider them a friend, you'd be doing them a favor by not mentioning that they post here under any name.

And finally (yeah, most of you know I'm long winded) it is all too common that someone wants to jump all over your opinion, simply because they got too many DUI's or have some beef with LE - so why bother with all that hassle from any forum members when you can just be quiet?
