Carrying at the Taste of Colorado???

Never heard of it

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.

you can carry in places that serve alcohol, Providing they also serve food, have a menu. Normal "bars" no carry.

There are NO statutory restrictions in Colorado for carry in establishments that serve alcohol. Period.

My fiance and I are going to ride our bikes down to the Taste. Should be enjoyable. Don't have my permit yet so I won't be carrying (a gun anyway.)

Where are you getting this from? Cite please.

It is completely legal to carry in any establishment that serves alcohol.

It is illegal to be under the influence of alcohol while carrying.

While it appears that it is legal to CCw in a bar, it is probably not the best idea because you are likely to take a drink, and that's not good.

I don't see a problem concealing your gun.

Why is that not good? What do you do if you have a drink at home? Do you unload your weapons and lock them in a safe at a friends house?

Reminds me of one time i went to elitches carrying. They had metal detectors that are bolted down, and i was already past the one way pass through thingy so i couldn't just turn around. I said the hell with it, went though... BEEP!!! Showed my CCW and attempted to explain i forgot, and I am licensed to carry. Those rent a cops just flagged me along like i was showing him my badge or something! Needless to say I still left... Was not going to be there with that kind of security.

I wonder when they put those in? I haven't been there in years.
