You'll hear nary a peep from me. In fact, I promise, I'll avert my
eyes. No! Correction! I will definitely NOT look!

A naked Weiser with a concealed weapon. WOW! Of course, if it's
cold
out, I can see the concealed bit. Or is this always an issue with
you,
Scott? GRIN

Well, on my own property, I have no need to conceal anything...

Hey Scott, all this talk about CCW, reminds me of a alarm installer
here in Denver, who walked around with a 44 mag in a very visible
holster. The PD tried to take it away from him, and even the DA took
him to court. The judge aquitted him of all charges of carrying a
weapon in general in the public sector. There were certain places such
as Gov bldg, especially courts, and Schools where he could not carry
it, but as long as it was not concealed, he could carry it pretty much
anywhere else, and did not require a CCW permit. This had the Denver PD
in a tissy for awhile, and I don't know how they finally settle the
situation.

Actually, I don't know about this guy, but I do know about another guy who
did essentially the same thing, and he was convicted because Denver is a
home-rule city, and had an ordinance prohibiting the open carry of firearms
without a permit.

Colorado passed a law a year or so ago that was supposed to "preempt" all
local gun control laws stricter than state statutes. Denver, and some other
jurisdictions are currently challenging the law as an infringement on their
home rule authority. The matter is still in court.
