Was just curious if you can carry into restraunts with bars as long as you do not drink, or into a bar itself. Not that I would carry into a bar but what about the restraunts. Do any of you guys know the legality of the situation would be. Your imput would be useful thanks.

Completely legal in Colorado to carry in bars or restaurants. In fact, you can even drink (though not advised) while carrying.

You can carry in bars in CO, and I do. I am even know to have a beer.

Thats a fine line though....CRS 18-12-103(1)(d) Prohibited Use of a Firearm states its a class 2 misdemeanor if the person has in their possession a firearm while the person is under the influence of intoxicating liquor or of a controlled substance.

They leave it vague to the give the officer / prosecutor discretion on how and when to use it. It could mean 2 beers or 20.

Even the smell of alcohol can be P/C for the deputy to pull the CCW, confiscate the weapon and arrest.

Alcohol and CCW does NOT mix in CO.

You can carry in bars/restaurants, but do not recommend consuming...

Nods, which is why I don't recommend drinking and carrying. The law is EXTREMELY vague on what's considered "intoxication" in regards to carrying.

I use DWAI/DUI as my measuring stick. DWAI starts at a BAC of .05%, and I am certain that one beer doesn't put me over that limit. While the carry law is vague, I feel comfortable having a beer while carrying.

I will have a drink with dinner but no more. It really does not take much at all to be at 0.05.

My understanding of the law is you can carry where ever you want as long as it is not posted "No weapons" or something along those lines. You can technically carry at a school as long as there is no sign stating it. So to answer your question yes but I would not recommend it!

Negative on that one man.

Glad you posted it too.

I would hate to see someone, in good faith, carry into a school and get jammed up for it because they thought they were legal.
