Post by Larry HewittPolice say Calanchini had permits for the rifles,
There is no such thing as a "permit for a rifle" in Colorado or
Wyoming.
Wyoming and Colorado do not require or issue permits for long guns.
You do not need one to purchase, use, possess, or carry them.
If you are of age, and have no criminal or mental history the law
only forbids carrying them in a fashion that could be construed as
threatening or brandishing.
Post by Larry Hewittbut did not have concealed permits to carry two pistols that were
found i
n his luggage.
The concealed carry permit is only required if you are carrying the
handgun concealed "on or about you person".
You do not need any license or permit to carry in your vehicle, or
to open carry in Colorado.
(However, Denver has a law that forbids open carry. This law
violates state law, but was allowed to stand after a judge ruled
that Denver has "Home Rule" which allows the law to stand.)
There is no permit required to carry a handgun if it is not
concealed on or about your person.
Is a suitcase "on or about your person"?
I think most sane people would consider that an appropriate way to
carry a pistol while checking into a hotel.

I'm sure this is just from a guy who is scared that maybe he broke
some law that the cops made up.

Has nothing to do with pelosi being there.
If Pelosi and the DNC weren't there, he never would have been
questioned or arrested in the first place.
Carrying a rifle into a hotel (in a case) is not illegal and would
not have even raised suspicion if party bigwigs weren't in the
building.
I understand that he was questioned, with tightened security and
all, but if his story made sense, and he wasn't some kook, that
should have been all. Perhaps they could have offered to store
his firearms in the safe until he checked out. But instead they
arrested him on seemingly bogus charges just to make Pelosi and
friends feel like the police were doing a bang up job.
Maybe the guy is crazy, and they are not releasing all the details
to the media, but if not, this guy is owed a huge apology and
probably a monetary settlement for his troubles.
