My Feedback + 50 lost during the site crash
I would have to go with very, very uncommon. I've lived here my entire life and can't recall seeing anyone open carrying in the metro area. With the exception of one old guy in a cowboy action shooting get up carrying a single action revolver in Target one day.
In the hills during hunting season I've seen it and done it.

When you believe you have seen the utmost of one's stupidity they never cease to amaze you and go one step further.
Re: Is open carry uncommon in the Denver area?
I think the pic was taken more to show the forum members that bad ass Taurus lol, jk. I agree with your statement.Originally Posted by hatidua
I've seen several open carrying in Home Depot and Walmart near my house (northeast Aurora), and quite a few others that were pretty casual about printing/showing when they were carrying concealed. My wife and I play a game to increase situational awareness by seeing who can spot more firearms on our shopping trips.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
The city and the county of Denver are the same.

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Good to know!
So that was a dig then? And here I thought we were buds. . .

I open carry from time to time here in Castle Rock and out east, I am comfortable with the Douglas County Sheriffs stance on all types of carry and when I do it I tend to avoid places with kids and family's. If I think they might be around I will swap to a different holster or rock the man bag. Mostly Home Depot, DCF, Walmart, Coffee shop, gas station, places like that.
Open carry is illegal within Denver city/county limits. Per Denver Revised Municipal Code “to carry, use or wear any dangerous or deadly weapon, including, but not by way of limitation, any pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun . . . or any other dangerous or deadly weapon.” It is not an offense if the person has a permit and is carrying a concealed handgun or if the person is carrying the weapon in a private automobile for hunting or self defense."
I am not local or state LE, and no longer being in uniform, I am not required to do anything when I see someone carrying openly.
When I was in uniform, it was in a jurisdiction where there was no legal carry by anyone other than LE (open or concealed).
I personally have never dealt with any criminal who owned, much less used, a holster. When I see a properly holstered weapon in public, I assume it is either an off-duty LE, plain clothes LE, or law abiding citizen. I take note and go about my business.
When out in public, I assume everyone has the capability of harming me. I hope they assume the same about me.
As long as your hand stays away from your gun, I doubt that I will be playing with mine.
i have never once seen anyone except uniformed LEO open carrying in public. and by in public I mean town, stores etc.
