Colorado Springs police say an outdated “cheat sheet” for police officers on city laws may have led to the mistaken arrest of a 24-year-old man for openly carrying a 40-caliber gun at Pride Fest on July 21.
According to city and state law for almost a decade, people are allowed to openly carry guns in city parks.
“He was right and we were in the wrong, definitely,” said Barbara Miller, police spokeswoman.
That admission doesn’t mean much to James Sorensen, who says he’s looking for a lawyer after he was detained by police for more than an hour that day when police spotted his gun at his side

Cops can and will lie to you. They will imprison you. They will use their power to intimidate people to bend reality to their will. Is open carry legal here? Sure, but who is going to do it now?
They subscribe to the same ethos that brought us "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out."
But don't get caught failing to comply with an order from you masters. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
