The focal point for Texas firearms information and discussions

I am now a contractor working as Consultant for Western Digital. I have been in negotiation to be converted to Perm and work in Irvine, CA. That city is very beautiful, real estate is 4X-5X than that of Collin County, north of Dallas.Keith B wrote:In relation to what? Can you be a little more specific?
Concealed carry is fine, except they do NOT accept non-resident CHL's. So if you move, make sure to keep your residence as Texas until you get a Colorado CHL.Beiruty wrote:I am now a contractor working as Consultant for Western Digital.

I refused to move to CA and main reason is CHL and my toys that would be allowed not to move with me.
Now, For the second time, I am now approached to work out of Longmont, CO. Said city seems nice and upscale. Real estate is maybe 1.5X than where I reside.
CHL: Shall issue state?
Any restrictions on Black guns, etc....

Colorado is open carry, except for Denver and Aurora, but would not recommend it in most populated or tourist areas.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am mistaken.....
While we were out there in July, I didn't see a single person open carrying in the areas we visited.

From “No Firearm” signs in Colorado have no force of law unless they are posted on property that is specifically mentioned in State Law as being off limits to those with a Permit/License to Carry. If you are in a place not specifically mentioned in the law that is posted and they ask you to leave, you must leave. If you refuse to leave then you are breaking the law and can be charged. Even if the property is not posted and you are asked to leave you must leave. Always be aware of the possibility that responding Police Officers who may have been called without your knowledge and may not know the laws on trespass etc. could arrest you even if you are within the law.
I'm sure you're correct. I was just commenting on the stupidity of how they handle/enforce gun law there......or appear to anyway.Keith B wrote:I have never found a solid reference that says you legally can't carry in Aurora. However, it may definitely be the case of beat the rap, not the ride, especially after the movie theater shooting.
