Denver

[lebru]

i've been hassled about my firearms more by lakewood cops than denver cops. i have had a ccw show up through my shirt once in both cities. both times right near cops. Denver just told me to pull my shirt down (as a joke). Lakewood questioned me, ran my permit, ran my DL, questioned me some more and let me go. I was walking out to my car with a gun case from my house to my car parked on the street, the Lakewood cop felt it necessary to stop and question me about what and where I was going to shoot. Same situation where my friend lives in denver, cop just nodded his head as he drove by. mind your own business and Denver cops shouldn't hassle you and you should have no problems.

They are however badged and sworn, correct me if I'm wrong

wrong, they are just hired by the County

edit:don't be fooled by the picture of the badges on that website. they aren't sworn or badged officers.

Ha..funny Lebru mentioned that. When I was pulled over by Denver PD (supposedly stricter than the rest), he gave me traffic warning w/o asking what kind of firearms etc after I showed him my CCW.

Lakewood PD pulled me over for merging w/o signal, and I was stuck for 45 minutes due to the CCW. The ticket was minor - the waiting ruined my appointment.

yeah, my theory is that...Denver cops have more to worry about than someone with a legit ccw permit. Lakewood have to feel important....I have also never gotten a speeding or traffic violation in denver, have 2 or 3 in lakewood.

I edited my op too, posted it prematurely.

I know we have beaten this topic into the ground on the other thread but this is what kills me. Sometimes and only sometimes does CCW info not show up in the system (that I have noticed). However, if I stop a car and the guy hands me a CCW card and it isn't in the system I know he isn't breaking a law by carrying in his car, so why the hassle? Why waste both of our days? I would however inform you that it isn't in the system and to maybe contact the county you got it from and see what was up with that. I don't think you have a CCW making machine at your house, you know?

It was a Lakewood officer that told me that if I had a gun in my car anywhere that I could reach it, without a permit, that there would be a problem. I knew she was wrong, but didn't call her out on it; I was, after all, interrupting her lunch with my question. As I walked away though, her partner questioned her on her answer.
