there seems to be a growing amount of Nervous Nellie Big Man policemen. I think it's that violence towards cops has been way overhyped and put into the popular media.

Anyway, my problem with speed limits is their arbitrary nature. Who exactly determined why the speed limit is higher in one spot than another

do you watch Southland

Answered well above... but check your state laws... some require you notify, some don't...

Too be honest... now, as a 25 year vet of the police line of profession and knowing what I know, and seeing this new "breed" of police officer in action... if you don't have to by state law, then don't... (unless they may see it somewhere... ie: if it's in your glove box, and you need to go there for your car registration then tell them before hand... "Officer, just to let you know I have a CWP and a handgun in my glove box, that is also where my registration is, May I open it to retrieve the documents?" and wait for a answer... but it is best to keep it truly concealed and in a different area of your paperwork... IE: center console...

The reason I say this... is in the past I always believed that for the most part we cops were always right besides a few bad apples, and that citizens and the press who made up crap against us were just bitter... and in most cases that is true... but I've seen my fair share of questionable stops, questionable searches, and unnecessary detainments by officers, mostly new ones... now I may have not been a angel my full 25 years as a cop... but I always thought of us as the good guys... now, when I back up these younger, more about the ME officers...when someone says they have a CWP... they ask where the weapon is, get them out of the car, find the weapon, and run it... BS IMO, (unless you have a honest opinion that somethings not right here...) if someone tells you they have a CWP and shows you the permit, they shouldn't be harassed for their honesty. IMO

Not sure whats going on, but in the last 2 to 3 years I've had a fallen out with my profession... mostly because of the type of recruits we are getting... college kids that want to prove how bad ass they are to everyone... I've kicked my share of ass, but feel that I lived by a good and honest rule... respect me and I'll respect you... disrespect me and game on. (and most citizens show respect... I can tell when I'm being deceived or played within minutes of a contact.)

5 years till retirement and counting.

If I'm traveling through Colorado with a weapon, Can I Have it in my vehicle?

Colorado law allows a person to carry a firearm in a vehicle, loaded or unloaded, if its use is for lawful protection of such a person or another's person or property. [C.R.S. 18-12-105 {2}]. Colorado law allows a person to possess a handgun in a dwelling, place of business, or automobile. However, you cannot carry the weapon concealed on or about your person while transporting it into your home, business, hotel room, etc. Local jurisdictions may not enact laws that restrict a person's ability to travel with a weapon [C.R.S. 18-12-105.6].

How do I Tranport Firearms Through National Parks in Colorado?

With rare exception (such as during times when controlled hunting is allowed), weapons are to be dismantled completely while traveling in National Parks in the United States. In order to transport firearms through National Parks, they must be dismantled and carried in the trunk of the vehicle.
