Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Well damn... this thread grew yesterday! Anyway, I still haven't had time to really "talk" to one of the local cops about this... sorta... I was walking home from work and I had one of my USP's in it's case and the only cop who passed by me yelled out the window "nice sidearm". I think they might be a little more laxed here...Still though, I will catch one and ask!
If you make something idiot proof, someone will make a better idiot... Forget youth, what we need is a fountain of smart. There are no stupid questions, just a lot of inquisitive idiots.Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. --Isaac AsimovLike, where's spyder been? That guy was like, totally cool and stuff. - foxtrot
spyder, run thru a few red lights on Main and you might make contact with one of the local LEO's. On second thought that probably wouldn't work since so few folks here pay much attention to traffic devices.
I was going to say... Isn't that normal here?Originally Posted by BlasterBob

You gotta love the jurisdictions that stop you just to bs with you about guns...right?
I can't wait to ask one of them about it honestly. I think it's even better when they yell out at you about your gun when just driving by!

Was he really that busy that he couldn't stop and chat with you? I mean, come on...I can't wait to ask one of them about it honestly. I think it's even better when they yell out at you about your gun when just driving by!
Forgot to update this... Anyway, I was pulled over yesterday on the way back from Pueblo by a CSP for not having a front license plate, so I talked to the officer about this, I also talked to my new neighbor (trinidad officer) about how he is supposed to handle calls about someone with a gun. Neighbor first.
Local PD says that it doesn't happen that oftern here. When it does though, they do have to respond. When they come up though, they look at the situation to see if your doing anything illegal, or suspicious, and take it from there. If someone is brandishing a gun, well, you can imagine how they would react to that. However, if it is just someone with a holstered gun, they will make contact, BS about the gun a little, and move on. My neighbor has seen youtube videos like the one this thread is about and thinks those cops are "retarded", his word, not mine.
The statey who pulled me over said basically the same thing, and then told me to go get a front license plate.
Both said however that they have to respond to the call and make contact.

I know this was almost two months ago...but that guy couldn't have been serious could he?
Isn't there a SC decision stating that officers never HAVE TO respond? Or were they more talking in the vein of departmental procedure?Forgot to update this...

The latter is my bet.
