Bill Hill - I guess I don't understand, is there some particular reason you want to carry concealed? You could certainly open carry (weapon holstered and in plain view) in Colorado, so long as you don't enter areas of the state (federal buildings, schools, certain hospital complexes, etc.) that specifically prohibit firearms. Unless you have a compelling reason to carry concealed rather than open, I don't see the issue. But then I've always liked open carry environments.
To be honest, I didn't realize a non resident could open carry in CO.
While I do have a lock box I keep in my rigs, I prefer to have my sidearm with me as opposed to unattended in my vehicle.
(locks only '
Keep honest people Honest')
MN is an 'Open Carry' state, when you get a permit, it's a 'Carry Permit' (you do need it to carry, open or concealed) it's your choice to carry open or concealed.
And, as HillbillyfromAL mentioned, MN is the same as far as signage. If a business has signs up, all they can do is ask you to leave. If you refuse, it's a misdemeanor offense (simple trespass) Schools, Fed buildings and Court rooms are a No-Go.
I like open carry enviorments myself! Usually when I'm in CO, I'm either driving through, or out in the sticks running the trails and mountain passes. Having suspension buckets in both Jeeps, makes it uncomfortable to carry while behind the wheel, so I usually just have it unloaded in the center console.
Defintely going to read up on the Open carry in CO! I like that.
