That list says that Colorado Mills is on the "cheater" list, I can't remember the last time I saw a sign there that said no carrying, and I never go there unless I'm carrying (concealed of course), but it just seems like a few of those places may have a policy against carrying, but I haven't noticed. I just use the legal terminology when it comes to carrying- If it's not a government, educational or metal detector controlled facility and there's no sign, I carry.

This is pretty much my attitude. If it's not illegal to carry there, then I carry there. Concealed is concealed. If they don't know I'm packing, then they have no reason to ask me to leave. If they do, then I leave and tell them I will no longer frequent their establishment until they change their policy.

I just think it's funny that all these businesses make it such a big deal. Perfectly legal.. No need fort managers and shit. Kinda dumb

Very true... besides why are they worrying about the legal gun owners who respect the law. Over 50 Million legal gun owners in the US and not one of them has committed a crime this year. Why worry? It's those thugs you have to watch out for who buy guns out of the trunk of some homie's car.

I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with a buddy last night... made sure I had both my primary and my BUG (CC of course)

soco11,

Well, you won't be getting a "pounding" from me. In fact, I couldn't agree more. Open carry in public, albeit "legal", doesn't necessarily promote good common sense in my book. In this particular case, he did handle himself in a polite, professional manner - however; he never would've had to engage the retaraunt manager in ANY conversation had he been carrying concealed.

On another note...OC immediately tells the "bad guy" you are his first target. When I'm out with my family, the last thing I want to be is a bullet magnet. If I am forced to engage a threat with lethal force, I don't want the bad guy knowing I'm armed until my rounds are headed his/her way.

Now, some of my close friends have said the way I dress (khaki 5:11 cargo pants, Glock polo shirt, contractor hat) suggest I'm carrying a firearm. Maybe it does...but I'm still leaving it open for interpretation because I'm not showing it off to the world. Conceal-carry permits are not hard to obtain in Colorado, so I don't really see the need for OC. Outside of the firing range, I've never encountered someone out in the public with their firearm in plain sight, but I can agree that if I did...it would probably force me to keep one eye his/her way, just because that's the way I am.
