Carrying in car

You a gamer? If so are you pumped for the new Deus Ex?

Haha, yes. I picked the name when I was taking Latin in highschool, though.

Okay. Heres the best story: I was out shooting in the national forest with my wife on a cold snowy day. She got cold and decided to sit in the car for a while as i finished up, and the tinted windows fogged. Once i got in the car to leave, five 4x4's guickly pulled up and surrounded my car, trapping us. I immediately told my wife to load her pistol. After unholstering my 1911, i reached in the back seat and grabbed the ar, just as one of the trucks pulled ahead of me and started backing up to my car, tow chains attached. I guess they couldnt see through the fogged tinted windows, and thought the car was unattended. Thats when i started the car and brandished the ar-15 to the guy who was now looking in my window. I would have just got out and put my would be theives at gunpoint until the cops arrived, had i not been surrounded, and with my wife. Anyway, the truck that pulled ahead and began backing up to me, left a gap in the trucks when it pulled forward, which i promptly used as my escape route. One of the trucks briefly gave chase, but thats when an impreza shines, and he quickly gave up. Made for an interesting day.

Carrying concealed in your vehicle is permitted, but only with a handgun. However, I have always wondered what the defintion of "traveling" is intended to mean in the statute. I would begin applying the plain meaning as per Websters. I haven't checked recently, but I am not aware of any case law interpreting the language.

As I mentioned earlier, how is a "handgun" or "pistol" defined? Would an AK or AR pistol be satisfactory? I'm sure it would be a fun run around.

C.R.S. 18-12-101 -
(e.5) "Handgun" means a pistol, revolver, or other firearm of any description, loaded or unloaded, from which any shot, bullet, or other missile can be discharged, the length of the barrel of which, not including any revolving, detachable, or magazine breech, does not exceed twelve inches.

And C.R.S 18-12-202 -
(4) "Handgun" means a handgun as defined in section 18-12-101 (1) (e.5); except that the term does not include a machine gun as defined in section 18-12-101 (1) (g).

Utilizing the legal prinicples to ascribe the plain and ordinary meaning of the words, also consider that the ATF has likely remedied that issue for us all, via the Class VII manufacturing licenses, and requirements for manufctueres to identify firearm types. If the AR, AK, etc is identified as a pistol by the manufacturer, that is good evidence that such weapon is a handgun, including compliance with Colorado statutes.

Traveling has been interpreted variously as :across more than one jurisdiction, within a jurisdiction, or any movement on any public thoroughfare. No offense, but lawyers nitpicking the meaning of simple words makes me want to hurt myself...
