You can even wear a loaded gun on your hip, cowboy-style or any other way, as long as it’s in plain sight and you don’t shoot it off inside of city limits.
Sgt. Steven Spencer of Garfield County said he has responded to calls from new residents worried about gunfire in their rural neighborhood, and in all cases he has found it involved target shooters who were acting legally.
Aspen Police Sgt. Brian Nichols recalled an incident several years ago, when he was called upon to talk to a man eating in a local restaurant who was carrying a pistol in a holster on his belt, in plain sight.
The man told Nichols he was wearing the gun “for his own personal protection. He was a former military guy and was kind of permanently in that mode.”
“We had a nice, friendly conversation and that was that,” Nichols said.
The man kept his gun on his belt, and Nichols walked away.
