    Buying a house in a school zone --- problem???

    Hey guys. (Colorado Springs) Looking at buying a house that is roughly 1000 feet from an Elementary School, give or take, (so it's important, right?), and the street 'school zone' stuff ("slow" painted on the asphalt, flashing lights, etc.) are out in front of the property on the street. Do I...

    First LEO Contact! Refused ID successfully!

    Had an exciting day today. I was out working with some of my employees, marketing on foot for leads for a home improvement company, and had LEO contact. Note: This does not involve OC'ing, but I acted the same as if I were to have an encounter OC'ing, and used knowledge and tactics to resist...

    Real data about the 1000' foot school zone laws...

    I came across some interesting information about the 1000' school zone anti-gun laws in the Arizona forum (reading about their new Constitutional Carry) that I never saw here. I know that we, in Colorado, have discussed (amid other discussions) that the 1000' law is something enforced only...

    Going through New Mexico this weekend from Colorado .. some clarification?

    Hi, Open Carriers! I'll be heading down to Roswell and back this weekend, and wanted to bring my pistol with me. In Colorado, one can carry concealed in their vehicle without a permit. Is it the same in NM? Am I 'required' to disclose to LEO or anything like that? No sort of 'unloaded in a...

    Colorado Springs Tea Party Rally

    imported post I went to the Tea Party Rally in Colorado Springs today. It was fun. Unfortunately, Acacia Park (location) was within 1000' of the downtown high school, so I couldn't Open Carry.

    My First Time Open Carrying - Downtown Colorado Springs and Starbucks

    How can you tell where you can shoot or not outside of city limits?

    imported post In Colorado Springs. Rampart Range is closed, at least for now, and will likely remain closed permanently. I've been thinking of finding some place 'in the wild' to go shooting off of 115 south of town. Anyone know of such a place? I remember, when trying to save Rampart Range...

This was the big game hunting regulations book for...
