Was this man a hunter trying to legally take his guns to his hotel room to secure them?

What are the laws in Denver about this?

I wish there were more details about this story. Politicians like to talk about the 2nd Amendment in terms of "hunting" guns and not pistols or defenseive weapons.

So......what's the big deal?

You need a permit to carry a rifle in a case?

How was carrying unlawful?

Sounds like someone needs to chill out. Checking someone out is one thing...arresting and charging them is something different. Does Pelosi have a legal buffer zone around her where the laws/Constitution do not apply?

Boy that guy could turn around and sue them because you don't have to have a permit for rifles and if it (wasn't posted) about fire arms then his handguns are ok too....and if its ture he was there to have them worked on......and didn't have the intent of doing anything wrong I don't see the problem.......

I'd almost bet they arrested him so they could hold him and try and determine his intentions. If he didn't have any intentions are harming Pelosi or anyone else they'll let him go.

They way the story is written it makes it sound like Pelosi owns the hotel. Good grief this guy may not have any clue that she was in the building.

I see two hands (sides?) here.

On the one hand, from what info we have now, this WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

Someone, somewhere, thinks that if a politician of sufficient import stays at a hotel, that hotel, "for security reasons" all of a sudden becomes a slef-defense free zone.

Or a "no hunters" or a "no firearms enthusiasts" zone.

I hope he sues the holy snot out of those responsible.

I believe MandM to be correct- they saw the guns and someone went into overdrive and decided to determine if the guy was a nut job or terrorist who wanted to off some politicos.

That may justify some questioning. It may justify some surveillance. If you're the hotel, because it's your property, it may even justify asking the dude to leave and giving him a free night at the hotel later.

But it doesn't justify arrest.

I would hope that there isn't a law against staying at a hotel with your .30-06.

OTOH, it may be that he was in violation of Colorado law with regard to the handguns.

Maybe with the rifles, too...

We don't know.

If so, on either count, it's unfortunate, but probably legal.

You can't take a gun case to your hotel room in a state that allows one to carry gun cases?

I do know that the SS does not care about your permit, or anything you have to say...they will win the immediate situation...you may be let go later.

What next, arresting someone working in their garden because fertilizer could be used to make a bomb.

There is only one gun law in this country, the 2nd Amendment. All else is bureaucratic nonsense that I choose to comply with or not at my discretion.

When governments make laws, they must consider the unintended consequences.

Lord Pelosi owns a hotel?

A locked container with a pistol inside constitutes "carrying concealed," eh? (Assuming they were unloaded, which wasn't specified.)

If a locked container of guns constitutes illegal concealed carry for folks lacking government permission, then any transportation of any firearm in any manner can be deemed an criminal act. Seems to me that the Heller case put to rest the overboard, broad-brushed approach to claiming criminality when it comes to citizens' firearms.

They let him go on a $10,000 bond. I don't know the laws in CO so I can't say if he did anything illegal but someone screwed up here. Either the LEO or the guy but I am sure they are going to find some law that he broke even if they have to make one up. So much for the democrats being the party of the people.
