Attention Gunnies! Big Sale!

The Jefferson county Sheriffs office is announcing a 27.5% reduction in the fees charged for a CHP along with extended hours for application.

Additionally there's a 20% reduction in the renewal fee.

Act now! Operators are waiting to take your call! (O.K. you have to do this in person, but it sounds good, no?)

At the same time, the Centennial Gun Store has a coupon out for 50% off the required CCW course, good till April 15th.

In my county, the process costs $152.50, plus the course, Applications must be submitted in person between 9AM and 3PM, 3 days a week only at the sheriffs office and may take up to 90 days to process.

In Colorado, if a "reasonable person" would believe that carrying a gun would be a good idea, then carry is permitted without a permit. In spite of this doctrine, one of the most reasonable situations I can think of, selling crack on East Colfax Ave, somehow does not seem to qualify. Go figure.

A bill to allow "constitutional carry" in Colorado easily passed the state House, but died in the Dem-controlled Senate. If the Republicans can overcome voter inertia over a lackluster presidential candidate, the down-list races should break favorably this fall, and we could well join the ranks of permitless carry states.

Permitless carry? Well, open carry, in most jurisdictions yes, except where prohibited.

Sort of like driving through multiple cities and counties, which given some of the flagpole annexations ... one can cross over multiple times in a short trip, and knowing when a U-turn is OK.

No, real Vermont-style CCW:
