Here's an article I got from Field and Stream. Maybe this should've been posted in the joke section of this forum as it is ridiculously funny and sad:

Hotel Guest With Guns Sends Pelosi Packing

From the Denver Post :

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was briefly evacuated from her downtown Denver hotel on Saturday when a man carrying two hunting rifles and two pistols tried to check in to the hotel.

[Twenty-nine]-year-old Joseph Calanchini of Pinedale, Wyo., faces a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon after police officers at the Grand Hyatt hotel noticed him carrying a rifle-type case while checking in. Calanchini did not have a concealed weapons permit. . . .

"I didn't even know the DNC was in town. I don't watch the news," Calanchini told the station from jail before he was released on $10,000 bond. "If I had known, I would have done things differently. It was a simple mistake."

That is LAME!!!! I hate those liberal anti-gun idiots!!! I do not know the concealed weapon law in Colorado, but one would think being as he had the guns in a proper case that it would not be considered "concealed" Here in Wyoming EVERYONE has a gun or two or a dozen in their homes, vehicles, ect. and no one blinks an eye!!

I am also a frequent traveler and I have been in airports all over the country and see people "usually hunters" checking gun cases. It is perfectly legal to check a firearm as baggage and you do not need a concealed weapons permit to do so.

I hope this lad in Denver gets him a good "REPUBLICAN" lawyer to represent him!!!!

DAMN those Liberal's :twisted:

He did not do anything wrong. The gun was in a case just as it is supposed to be. Some one is not sure of the laws and wrote a bad ticket. The $10,000 dollar bond sounds a little high as well.

To be considered a concealed weapon ,I believe the firearm must be loaded. Have never heard of a state that has a concealed weapons law for a unloaded gun..what a crock of sh!t :twisted:
