And it would be illegal to sell a gun to a male unless they were 25 or possessed a clean bill of mental health card from a licensed psychiatrist. "

They interveiwed two teens at another theater that has metal detectors, the teens said they made them feel safer. Did I miss something here, or did he break in an emergancy exit. Are people really this blind to things. Need to stop my rant for forum rule reasons.

Technically, by Colorado law, it seems that the theater wasn't a "gun free zone". However, it also seems that they had a "no guns policy" with some sort of signs to state this. Many folks on here, even if a place doesn't have actual 30.06 posted, only a "gunbuster" sign, say they still won't go in...either worried about the risks involved OR "those anti-gun folks ain't getting my money". So the INTENT of the movie theater chain was to be a GFZ.

I think those signs are enforceable in Colorado because they don't have a 30.06 equivalent.

Did I miss any mass shootings in the US? There was one in was it Utah at a mall? In all cases there was a political call to ban guns. Notice any similarities.

BTW, The "ban guns" people are all over the blogs wanting gun laws... I knew that rhetoric would be brought up.

Would be interesting if someone knew if this theater was posted, would show that only law abiding citizens are disarmed.

I've heard they had some sort of "unenforceable" sign up, but I can't even remember where I heard that, let alone vouch for its accuracy.

Aurora and Denver aren't exactly gun friendly, when we lived in Colorado Springs a few years back, Denver had managed to ban CHL's as a city, and everything in Aurora was posted.

Just to clarify, are you saying that I cannot carry within the Denver city limits? Not at all?

Perhaps Colorado does not have state preemption. Las Vegas is like that. In Vegas, they kill you if you have a CHL. And then they make excuses and blame it on the victim. Vegas keeps reelecting Harry Reid. 2+2= etc. Apparently then, parts of Colorado also teach "the new math."

“No Firearm” signs in Colorado have no force of law unless they are posted on property that is specifically mentioned in State Law as being off limits to those with a Permit/License to Carry. If you are in a place not specifically mentioned in the law that is posted and they ask you to leave, you must leave. If you refuse to leave then you are breaking the law and can be charged. Even if the property is not posted and you are asked to leave you must leave. Always be aware of the possibility that responding Police Officers who may have been called without your knowledge and may not know the laws on trespass etc. could arrest you even if you are within the law.
