It is either an inalienable right or it is not.   IT IS ! ! !  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
Applied commonsense among an armed citizenry.   -- Ronw13, Oregon
When our Colorado state Constitution was written in the late 1800's, only outlaws concealed firearms...hence the provision in many state statutes prohibiting the concealment of guns. That no longer applies to right thinking states. Unfortunately Colorado has seen a takeover by leftist/progressive/ budding communists. The budding communists will continue to attack our Second Amendment, the rise in violent crimes is NOT an accident...and we must continue to stop them. As George Washington put it; "Firearms are the liberty's teeth." This is one fight we can't loose...ever.  -- Denise, Durango      2
Ok, "right thinking states",  knee jerk reactions give way to peaceful streets, in due course. Walk softly. to assure, all are armed and observed as such.   -- Ronw13, Oregon
Denise is right.  Concealing a weapon when you can carry openly implies deception.  While the rights of humankind are inalienable, the Constitutions charter the power of the State, and if the legislature puts in a restriction of carrying concealed arms, it becomes the law of the land, whether in accordance with natural right or not.  -- E Archer, NYC      2
Unfortunately for Colorado a far left barely disguised leftist lunatic blew in to our once strong free state in 2014...he "became" the governor a few years back and is doing everything he can to disarm, undermine and turn this state into another Cuba. The left is without morals or decency...bleeding from the eyes to "rule" this nation. This "governor" has spewed out more gun laws than any and all previous governors combined...including other states. Unless these traitors are stopped America will be reduced to one more dictator controlled country. If you can't agree suggest you start paying attention to other than "left media".  -- Denise M., Durango      1
The adult will always call into question the need for the necessity for the use of forearms and the accompanying violence involved. The adult always reasons: there must be another alternative.   -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown      1
