Carrying at the Taste of Colorado???

[Beau]

I've never felt unsafe downtown in the daytime. Just leave it in the car and enjoy yourself.

I thought the point in carrying was that one never knows when they may have need of a firearm. So if your only carrying when you feel unsafe then you should stop going to those places. Then you wouldn't need to carry at all.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but aren't guns and alchohol not good together? I thought bars were off limits for ccw and to me this would fit in the same catagory. It may read as sarcasm but I'm actually asking because I don't know. Since it was pointed out that weapons weren't allowed I figure that would end the discussion anyway.

On the broader personal safety point I agree with not going places where you think you need a gun. I'm also sure that public security is upped a bit for big events like this.

I've seen people get patted down there, but they were young thug looking guys. I saw that and put my piece away. Then when I came back, I was carrying my daughter on my shoulders and they let me right through.

Really? So just being prepared is too much then? I carry everywhere because crazy people go everywhere, plain and simple.

I'm always armed, 100% of the time. I also drink occasionally, like at the BBQ I was at yesterday. You haven't seen any news reports about me yet.
IMO, if you aren't responsible enough to stick to your limits with some drinks, you probably aren't responsible enough to carry a weapon.
I've heard bars are "gun-free zones" but as we all know, if criminals followed the laws then they wouldn't be criminals.
I work at a place that has a bar in it, with a very strict "no weapons" policy for the employees. I just got home from work, and I sit here in my work clothes with my BUG and a spare mag, a 4.75" folder, and a 2" push blade... all completely concealed, all very simply, easily, and quickly accessible.
Concealed is concealed. YOU and ONLY YOU are responsible for your own safety and well being.

Also, in response to your second paragraph... I avoid the not so nice places as much as possible, but occasionally its necessary to go to these areas. Don't let some criminal scum limit you in accomplishing whatever it is you need to do. There's a reason you carry that gun.

If you work where I think you work, I want to check that place out.

If I work where you think I work... don't bother. Not worth it whatsoever. Everything there is stupid expensive compared to the same exact shit at other places. That, and I swear I work with a bunch of f*cking 13 year olds, they're all immature drama-whores. The only reason I'm still there is because I only have to put up with it for another 8 weeks and then I can get the hell out of here.

[Irving]

Well, I see that you're in Centennial, so I don't think it is the same place.

[mcantar18c]

I work less than a mile from where I live, so if its not in Centennial then no probably not.
What place are you thinking of?

[Irving]

Some movie theater in Westminster that serves alcohol. I think it is called Cinnebar or something.
