CO Law Would End Expensive Carry Permit

La Plata County Sheriff Duke Schirard has mixed feelings about a House bill that would allow people to carry concealed weapons without a permit.

On one hand, cialis 40mg the permitting process helps deputies know whether someone might be carrying a weapon – for example, rx during a traffic stop or when responding to a residence.

On the other, the permitting system doesn’t deter would-be criminals from carrying a concealed weapon, he said.

“If a person is dead set on carrying a weapon for any nefarious purpose, he’s probably going to carry it,” Schirard said.

House bill 1205, by Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, passed the House this month and is set to be heard Tuesday by the Senate State Affairs Committee. If it passes, it will go to the full Senate for a vote.

The bill would allow people who currently qualify for a concealed-weapon permit to carry a hidden gun without obtaining a permit. The bill does not change the law that forbids concealed weapons for people with a history of alcohol or drug abuse, mental illness or domestic violence. In addition, people must be Colorado residents and 21 or older.-[source]
