Denver can have all the heartburn they want but they will not like 2 things from me in the same situation.....

1. ONE HELL OF A SHOOTOUT while trying to confiscate my gun and.....
2. Paying my family BILLIONS of dollars for violating my civil rights and wrongful death lawsuits!!(since I know I won't survive and nothing personal towards the police)

I don't think your friend will have any problems though
