Colorado law change to allow security to carry assault rifles www.privateofficer.com
AURORA CO Sept 18 2009 — A new proposal to allow security guards and private investigators to carry assault weapons is all but guaranteed to pass next week.
The law closes a loophole that could have seen PI’s and security guards held criminally liable in Aurora for the assault weapons the state legally allows them to carry. The new law would bring the city’s codes in line with state rules.
Generally, the term “assault weapons” covers semi-automatic military-style rifles, as well as some pistols and shotguns. Guards and PI’s must carry special identification with them anytime they have the weapons. PI’s can carry assault weapons at any time, but security guards can only carry them starting one hour before and ending one hour after their shift.
Aldermen have placed the measure on the consent agenda for next Tuesday’s City Council meeting, which means barring objection, it will pass without discussion.
