ARAPAHOE COUNTY - Three men clad in camouflage pants were stopped by federal agents overnight after they were found walking around the apartment complex where a terror suspect lives. Two of the men were carrying loaded firearms.

Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation stopped the men as they walked through the parking lot of the Vistas at Saddle Rock Apartments, located at 22959 East Smoky Hill Road. The FBI was at the complex because they've been investigating terror suspect Najibullah Zazi, who lives there.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department says one of the men, 37-year-old Brian Laro, was armed with a loaded AR-15 rifle slung over his shoulder and another man, 24-year-old Timothy Guinn, had a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol tucked into his waistband. The third suspect was unarmed.

The men told agents they had been at Laro's apartment "having a few beers" when they heard what they thought was a gunshot, then they went to investigate.

Authorities say Laro had a blood alcohol level of .123, while Guinn's registered at .020.

Laro was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office Detention's Facility where he was held on a $750 bond on charges of prohibited use of a weapon and disorderly conduct.

Guinn was released at the scene and his deputies say his concealed weapons permit was confiscated pending a review of the incident.

Deputies say the firearms were placed into evidence.

At least the situation ended without shots being fired.

If the pistol was tucked in the waist band, then it is not concealed.

Is there a law there prohibiting open carry?

Here's the question I have. The article states:

The men told agents they had been at Laro's apartment "having a few beers" when they heard what they thought was a gunshot, then they went to investigate.

So... which alphabet agency whiz kid got "pro-fesh-nul" during the investigation and ND'd?

People have simply bought into the "alcohol is teh debil!" shit too far.

So if I've been drinking, and I hear gun shots and screaming in my front yard, it should be illegal for me to grab a gun and go investigate?

Not saying that is what happened here, but that is the logical conclusion.

I hate REAL drunk drivers, and I hate being around large gatherings of stupid drunk people. But what I hate even more, is how we have been brainwashed to automatically assume someone who has been drinking is in the wrong.

The brainwashing is deep too. Look at DUI statistics. "Every year XXX number of people are killed by drunk drivers." Probably 25% of those were killed by people who were actually too drunk to drive and hit someone because they were inebriated. But how many of those accidents do you think would have happened ANYWAY, but one driver happened to have had two beers, so suddenly it is an alcohol related incident? Nobody ever stops to ask that question, because the idea that "alcohol is teh debil" is already assumed from the get go.

For the record, I never drive and never carry when I have been drinking. I just get tired of the fucking panty twisting.

eta: And the guys in this article probably were jackasses, that is my hunch...but i don't know I wasn't there.

.02 is far from drunk. If there hadn't been a suspected terrorist in the complex all would have been fine. Instead the country is spending a ton of money protecting this ROP pig fucker.
