U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Yesterday, Governor Jared Polis signed the so-called “Vote Without Fear Act,” House Bill 22-1086. Having only sat on his desk for a handful of days, Governor Polis couldn’t wait to put his pen to paper and further restrict the right to self-defense of his constituents.
House Bill 22-1086 “The Vote Without Fear Act,” bans the open carry of a firearm at voting locations in the Centennial State. This measure prohibits you from exercising one of our constitutional rights while engaging in another. It’s unfortunate that it is a serious and deeply-held belief by anti-gun legislators that the Second Amendment is a lesser right.
Law-abiding gun owners have the right to self-defense and are provided with options that fit their needs. Stay-tuned to NRA-ILA Alerts for more information and updates.

Seems ironic now. That the Movie ‘Red Dawn’ was based in Colorado. That never needed some ‘Wolverines’ more than it does now.
they would be protecting themselves from the local government now not foreign invasion
The real enemy has been domestic for many decades.
Including corrupt swine who betray us and pocket $billions that should go to saving the USA.
GOA?
Yes, GOA are always asking for money but don’t do anything to control the TRASH POLITICANS in their state!!!!
Yep. Life member here. And of NRA, unfortunately.
at least since 1913 , ww was anti black https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/11/wilson-legacy-racism/417549/
Yep. Check out all your domestic enemy sock downvotes. Sticks & stones … but sock posse ‘flak’ = OTT.
The real enemy is also our inability to get along with each another.
“Our”? No, your. You’re the snark-attack stalker-troll here. Don’t blame the victim and expect me not to reply to your attacks. If you wanted to get along, you’d stop shooting the messenger to hide the message. Everyone knows what you’re doing.
I meant in the national sense. Not every thing is about you.
Nice try. You replied to me. Your typical coy stalk-troll snark-attack BS.
Nope, you have misinterpreted.
Hardly.
Hey Tex, how you doing on this fine Texas morning? Yes, I concur.
Bill,everything has been going great. Staying busy with lots of work and making really good money (for an old man my age anyway) The weather has been beautiful. You been doing alright? I see some things around here haven’t change. Lol. Bill,I will get back to you soon. Take care.
Actually, nothing is about him. He just thinks the sun revolves around his sorry ass!
“That is exactly the kind of language to which so many object. Can’t you find it within yourself to be civil?” -Wild Bill
I see you’ve already upvoted yourself 5x in 12 minutes, your loser M.O.
He is way more civil than you are.
As usual, won’t admit the beam in your own eye, upvoted yourself 11x in 18mins. LOSER M.O.
Correction: 7 times.
You know it all. So where has your tag team brother gone? Seems I haven’t seen him post in a couple of days…Not like him at all. Did you guys break up>
Maybe he went to some other site where no one hates him yet.
Guess he’s not in a tag team, unlike you: Bill’s foul-mouth tag team sock pup thug.
Come on now. You know that I cannot upvote myself. You’ve tried it too. Everyone who is here has probably tried it once. Can’t be done, unless you are an administrator….and that YOU ain’t!
hahahahaha. Nice try. “You” don’t upvote yourself, your sock pups do.
Sounds like Oldman is unaware that many people have as many different accounts(known as sock puppets) as they please. He picked “old” in his username, so maybe he’s unaware. Or maybe he has so many pups that he habitually uses the onion router to hide his ISP too! It isn’t too hard to confuse the puppeteers if one can get them to engage in a conversation, though. After a few posts back and forth they tend to forget which puupet they’re pulling the strings on at the moment, and start using the wrong puppet to answer you with! Talk about… Read more »
it is actually useless to interact with them, the term troll kind of says it they hide out and spring to bait the unwary ,but like a bad smell they go away when they find intelligent people pay no heed
LOL, they’re too blinded by their hatred to see that their snark attacks give me a vehicle to post what they hate most – names of victims murdered by cops who abuse “qualified” immunity – and that their LEO sock posse downvotes draw attention to those names and stories – the opposite of cancelation – and that I don’t live for upvotes like they do (Losers). Over The Target
I just wonder why he was “shot” was he being cooperative with the police or being combative? I don’t know so for every action there is a reaction!
No. And why don’t you look it up before smearing him?
That’s why I don’t write TO the trolls, but only ABOUT them. Somebody has to teach the masses that all is not as it seems on the surface, but a bit of digging will get to the truth. Once they get into the habit of looking below the surface, the troll’s day will be over.
Even the trolls know it, it’s why they come out in such force to try to censor anything about the methods they use. Trying to delay their inevitable demise… 🙂
And, there’s fifteen downvotes to prove my point, right on schedule! What are they all voting down? I said nothing dirty or insulting or even directed at any particular group.. except trolls! So are these 15 voting me down because they have a disagreement with my position? Or is it more likely that they’re 15 sockpuppets with a troll or two pulling their strings? What are the odds? Think about which way you’d put your money on it if there were a way to bet on it? Frankly, I’d put ten to one on the trolls! Nowhere near 15 people… Read more »
Respectfully, I’m thinking that they are not a group of trolls, and don’t like to be called that, but rather each is an individual person with their own opinion. I could be wrong.
Anyway, all the dogs were barking like mad fiends at some creature of the night. Now they are all sleeping and I can’t
Same here, only it is not from creatures in the night. We got quite the rain and windstorm going on, and as I was getting close to the last chapter of ‘Chiefs Chief’, I became quite agitated by what the Press did when Trump was in the hospital with Covid. Man!
Storms never used to bother me. Now, I own property with buildings.
My, how older age changes things. I think a melatonin is in order.
Ego!
From what I can tell about Colorado it suffers from the same phenomenon as my state, the Soviet of Washington, too damn many carpetbaggers moving in bringing the sensibilities that ruined the last place they lived. Ignorant people…products of our Soviet styled and communist filled public education system. The troubles in the American public education system can be traced back to this one person and the movement he helped create, John Dewey. Not only did he devise the public school policies that are destroying America, he also was one of the founders of the American Civil Liberties Union. We all… Read more »
Florida bans conceal carry at voting places.
Thanks to fatcat Marion Hammer.
SC has too, since the beginning of “Shall Issue” in 1996, unfortunately.
Thankfully, no metal detectors in polling places.
🙂
Why does NRA relentlessly sabotage “shall issue” & “Constitutional Carry”? I know Virginians who had “may issue” permits, which if you could get one were far superior to NRA’s “shall issue”. NRA added “gun free” zones & penalties, sabotaged efforts to repeal them. Same in FL, TX etc.
Another illegal gun law for law abiding citizens imagine that…. LETS GO BRANDON
Might as well get used to the fact, that libs are moving into every red state, as fast as possible, trying to turn every state in the union, blue. The valley I live in, is the fastest growing county in the state of Montana. People with big bucks are moving here in droves. They sell their homes in Cali and New Yawk, giving them plenty of money to come here, pay cash for a home, buy a new 4×4, etc. Meanwhile, those of us natives, can barely afford rent, because of such a huge influx of big buck people. We’re… Read more »
And the K-12 schools, colleges, and universities are creating more as fast as possible, too!
The Bitterroot will stay free. We have some new neighbors here in the foothills of the Sapphire Range, but they fled Cali, coming here because they like it the way it is in Montana. Some good folks come in with the trash. But you’re right – too many people who own property here in Montana have forced their renters out, because they wanted to cash in on the much higher prices that homes are selling for. My conservative sister moved here from CT and is staying with my wife and I because she can’t find a decent place to rent.… Read more »
I’m sure the “New and Improved!” Black Panthers or BLM will be fine carrying clubs to intimate “some” voters.
Yes, it’s a stupid law, however it’s basis is to PANDER to the democrat base here in CO. Make them feel good about keeping Polis and the others in power.
To a fellow Coloradoan, BOOM! On point! Politics.
“the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”.
Are you afraid of a boomer Republican carrying is gonna plug you full of lead, lol?! I’m a Coloradoan who’s sick of the Californication of the left libtards(in your words) making this a woke, crime ridden, welfare state.
More people are killed and die because of uneducated voters every year than by people with firearms. It just that they aren’t counted as important. Yet any moron at least 18 years old can vote and some states want to lower that age to 16. There will always be morons regardless of age or education. Penalizing everyone because the actions of a few is the exact mechanism used to enact Tyranny on a populace. History has taught us that if nothing else,
IQ tests can be manipulated to easily.
IQ tests or psychological evaluations given by gun-grabbers? That won’t go well. Aren’t they already doing this in NYC?
A good thing? Psychological evaluations/IQ tests shouldn’t be give by anyone,gun-grabbers or not. It’s just another socialist bunch of crap to deny law-abiding citizens of their 2A rights and to own firearms.
guessing you have not seen tv news in ohh the last 40 years or so
Lunatic? Moron? Do mental health professionals even use those terms anymore?
If you descent into insult then your argument must not be very strong.
I believe that CL means the interpretation of IQ test results.
Well, until there’s a fair, equitable, unbiased, and accurate method of separating Morons from responsible adults I’m going to have to side with our Constitution. I do agree with the very early age in gun safety and basic training and yes statistics do support the fact that “guns do not kill people” criminals kill WITH guns, because they have no respect for life in general. And people who do not properly keep their guns out of the reach of children is another huge problem, which is correlated to early age safety training. There will always be Morons with guns, knives,… Read more »
Well said. I said much the same thing, before reading your reply.
And wonder if these law-abiding citizens told them to stick that IQ test. What should happen then?
No,but you certainly are.Not to mention it’s in direct violation of the US Constitution.This nonsense will never happen. You’re a waste of time.
IQ tests do not test wisdom, reasonableness, or even knowledge. The whole notion of a IQ test requirement for any type of human activity is a failure from the beginning because it does not test what needs to be tested.
None of that is in the Constitution, and would work a prior restraint.
I understand where you are going but I disagree with how to get there. Any test of intelligence will fail to quantify empathy and impulse control. Given that, even if it were constitutional, it would not work. If we assumed it worked, what is a passing score and who would get to determine that? Freedom carries an inherent risk (like around 50,000 deaths per year in car accidents so we have the freedom of owning and driving cars.) That risk will go up as morals deteriorate, narcissism increases and the freedom of law abiding citizens are restrained. In my opinion.
the thing many do not understand the higher the IQ the more detached the person is from society ted kaczynski had a genius IQ skipped grades in school ,but could not relate to others, he lacked empathy . so what is needed is more a moral test and that will never work, how many law enforcement jobs are amoral?
Were. If, in fact, it were. Subjunctive mood.
I never realized that you need a certain IQ level to own a firearm. Many people I know that have genius or near genius IQ’s have zero common sense. They don’t have the sense to pour piss out of a boot.
Yes, Soros and Blumberg have high IQs but no regard for their fellow humans. They only concentrate on profit.
Really! I did not know that.
I would not be so sure they have high IQs they display poor reasoning skills , and more follow the leader mentality
Asperger as well ,many follow rules to a t but they do not understand them and when they go off the rails you get columbine , his mother blurred the lines with video games ,and he could not differentiate
before putting the boot on
And a mandatory IQ test for firearm ownership would be unconstitutional as hell. It is as tyrannical as ERPO’s.
No one fears taking an IQ test. What we fear is having another unConstitutional requirement that could be applied to nearly every human endeavor without regard to ethics, morality, or reasonableness.
Oldvet,this clown even said an IQ test should be required before we vote too. But he said that was a topic for another day. Someone needs to chase this guy down with some butterfly nets.
. Why would I submit to anything that I don’t have to and is not required ?
Nor is there any quality control over the interpreted results. Putting some prerequisite, that needs interpretation, in the hands of someone other than the Right holder is clearly an unconstitutional prerequisite.
I oppose everything that’s unconstitutional. You really like the word moron. You use that word excessively too. That word describes you perfectly. Is it a childhood thing you were forced to endure and still do?
many mental patients, will out score you , the things that make up reason include empathy something they dont measure
Even if there were a fair, equitable, unbiased and accurate test, that test is not required in the Constitution.
Bill,the 2A is real clear on this too. ……”the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,shall not be infringed” ! I don’t guess this clown considers some ridiculous IQ test as an infringement? Where do they come from?
I think that he does not know that an infringement is, nor have any experience in Constitutional intreptation.
Bill,he knows nothing about the Constitution specifically the 2A. How could anyone be as stupid as this guy?
What does the word “Fife” mean to you genius ?
a small shrill flute that is what a fife is … dont wast your band width barney does not understand what the test does measure, and the thing that is needed is more a empathy level because people with extremely high IQs tend to lack this and may get annoyed and squish bugs
I just love it when someone decides for me … what I should do.
under obama they decided iq test was raciest so it was revised. if you took one in the past take the new one you will laugh your ass off,and your score my jump 100 points
No offense, but exactly HOW are you going to “judge” who’s allowed a weapon and who’s IQ prohibits them? Are you going to be willing to take tests every year, that God only knows who designed, and hope you’re smart enough, by their standards? Do you have a two digit IQ or a three? If a three digit, I imagine you’re no Einstein. And yes, I have a three digit, above average IQ. Not genius, of course, but still not below average of the national IQ. And, I as a veteran, will not take it kindly, if I have to… Read more »
i i have an iq test for them , I have registered items who is brave enough to come to my door and challenge me for them
An IQ test as a prerequisite to firearms ownership in not in the Constitution so an IQ test prerequisite can never be law. Didn’t you know?
So what is your point?
So you advocate an unconstitutional taking. Barney what country do you live in? Have you ever read the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights?
I have a 160 IQ according to the test I took. Problem is that I don’t consider MYSELF to be as smart as they claim I am. I literally FAILED the SAT tests that I took in highschool 100%. I had EVERY question WRONG. So you know what my counselor did? Called me into the office and I sat down with her and the principal. They said that NO ONE could get EVERY question wrong without knowing the answers and gave me a 100% for the test. BTW…they were right. I did it on purpose to tell them to fuck… Read more »
You’ve done about everything according to you. Don’t tell me your not a member of Mensa also. You’re an idiot.
He may or may not be smart or intelligent, but he is not the reasonable man that the law (generally) looks to, nor does he know anything about the BOR.
Name calling due to frustration indicates merely average intelligence. What is the source of this seeming need to appear more intelligent that the people here?
Good for you, but you don’t know erg about Constitutional law, and you are a poor writer.
There is no “allowed” to it. Firearms ownership, voting, and property ownership are Rights guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution, but do not depend on that document for their existence.
I think you better take your IQ test results and hit the horn books.
While IQ tests can gauge an indication of a level of cognitive function of the brain, it is the interpretation of the data that is subjective and will vary from mild to wildly from reviewer to reviewer. The same goes for psych evals. Placing any qualifier to an enumerated negative right to be exercised quickly places that negative right exercise into the privilege column.
What you keep advocating is ripe for abuse.
not just that the higher the score the less likely the person can empathize the unibomber had a 167+ IQ I have a friend who’s son has a very high iq score he has aspergers high functioning great trial lawyer no personal life,he cant understand interpersonal relations he mimics as he was taught but does not understand I would NEVER give him a gun
Can they do CONCEALED carry ?
If so, I don’t see a big issue. ONLY open carry restricted ?
But, these Kalifornia libs shud not be allowed to vote when they flee Kali/sarc
Only open carry – they don’t want you scaring off the progressives who come out to vote.
Perhaps it is time to propose legislation that prohibits locating a polling place within 1000” of any gun owners residence or private property. Also prohibit political speech by anyone within 1000’ of a concealed carrier, with exception for anyone carrying a firearm. Be sure to make penalties extremely steep since it is so “easy” to know whether anyone is carrying (\sarc – concealed-means-concealed). Also “easy” to know what qualifies as political speech since these days everything is.
Please tell me you are being sarcastic, because by the down no one believes so.
Clue…sarc
Now do not forget to donate ot the NRA; it executives need new bespoke suits!
Reverse phycology will not work, here. We will all make our own decisions.
The NRA is here to stay go cry somewhere else
Just carry concealed, for frick sake! It’s not a big deal. We have the same thing in Washington State. If people weren’t taking guns to “peaceful protests” this never would have happened. Get over yourself. Don’t believe everything you think. It isn’t about restricting “your rights.” It’s about upholding the rights of people to be able to vote without being intimidated by others. If you don’t understand that, then you really are stuck in an echo chamber.
Your village called. They want their idiot back!
The only people I’m intimidated by are enforcement officers. Unless someone pulls a weapon out and starts waving it around I couldn’t care less if they are carrying in the open. It makes for good conversation in my book.
Only a lefty snowflake is “intimidated” by a completely peaceful open carrier minding their own business.
The only real reason why you ought to feel fear is probably because you were just about to do something to that law-abiding gun owner that’d get you shot!
I sure agree with that!
You go right ahead and do that.
Bill,he opens his mouth and removes all doubt.
Shhhh, he needs a little more rope, yet.
If leftys like Gaige Grosskreuz (i.e., convicted felons) weren’t pointing their concealed illegally-possessed pistols at kids in “mostly peaceful protests”, people wouldn’t deem it necessary to sling an AR-15 over their shoulder just to go grocery shopping or voting because some tard is violently triggered by the mere sight of a non-communist. Even more, we have seen violent leftists physically threaten and intimidate conservatives trying to vote. And THAT began during the Barry Ovomit years, unsurprisingly. But then, there will always be lefty tards like you who simultaneously fail to think and respect others’ inalienable Rights! Maybe the reason you… Read more »
