Boulder County Open Space

[lebru]

Are we allowed to shoot in the Boulder County Open Space? We own property up near Left Hand Canyon off Neva Road and there is a huge open space area there where cattle graze on in the summer. Is it fair game to shoot out there? There are a few houses there, but nothing near the open space or at least where I was eyeballing the other day.

My understanding is no, I have been trying to find out though. BLM and most national forests yes, as long as you are 150 feet away from any established road, trail, or building.

it is public land so you would think you shoul dbe able to, but i dont know for sure and would hate to see any one get in trouble based on what is aid.

I don't even think firearms are allowed on Open Space property.

this is what I am trying to figure out....there are no signs anywhere that say no firearms...but it doesn't say shooting is allowed either. Calling them is useless, no one ever seems to be working.

a firearm in Boulder's Open space if you sign an affirmation that no tofu has been harmed by your gun, and that you will only shoot while wearing birkenstocks, with your dread's tucked into your shirt, AND when your blood THC level is lower than .005.

I think...

BCOS just got a .015% sales tax increase voted in. Who needs to work?

Is it within city limits? I think the 150 rule is feet though, and not yards.

I think everyone missed the important works in my reply post, I said the rule is for BLM and national forrest, not open space.

Also, most of the open space is county land, even though it is owned by the city, it is still maintained by the county. my house backs up to about 1000 acres of open space, so i would love to shoot there. I am still trying ti find an answer for you.

And yes it is leagal to poses a firearm on open space.
