Concealed Carry in Danger in Colo?
April 22, 2008 | Tagged CO Legislature, Colorado gun laws, Concealed Carry, Second Amendment | Leave a Comment
Dateline: today. A usually reliable source has reported that Democrat Leadership in the Colorado Legislature is going to run a bill affecting concealed carry. This reportedly grew out of a controversy about security at the State Capitol. The extent of the bill’s reach is not known at this time.
I am hopeful the Democrats do not want a political bombshell in an election year. There are already laws prohibiting concealed weapons at the capitol. Do they want to clarify and reinforce those laws, or do they want to attempt to restrict or destroy concealed carry in this state?
The session is scheduled to end on May 7th, so any bill on this issue will have to have late bill status and a rush job through both houses. Hopefully cool heads will prevail and the Democrats will not place increased restrictions on the right of Colorado Citizens to self-defense. Watch this matter very carefully.
