Hi, folks - I'll be traveling through your lovely state next weekend, and have a few questions:
I have an Ohio Concealed Handgun License, but that is not recognized in Colorado (probably because Ohio won't recognize Colorado's). So, if I want to travel without locking up my weapon, I need to open carry, correct?
I will be driving in to the state, stopping at the airport in Colorado Springs to pick up my wife, then heading to Canon City for the night. The next day, heading down via Silverton to Durango, then the next day, on to Utah. A similar trip back about a week later.
While in the car, I know that it doesn't matter - in a concealed holster or not is irrelevant while driving. However, when I get out for gas, food , etc. I need to keep the weapon visible, right?
Of course, any place that is posted is off limits.
Finally, I understand the usual risks of OC - MWAG calls, etc...
My plan is to open carry in the car, lock up the weapon while at the airport, open carry at (generally remote) gas stations. It's restaurants that I'm not sure what the best policy will be. Also, I have been unable to get an answer to whether or not I can enter a restaurant that serves alcohol while open carrying (not drink, just eat there of course).
Any additional info I should know?
Thanks in advance!
