(On Screen): I hope that the State of Colorado has very lax concealed-carry laws, because every resident of the State is carrying a concealed deadly weapon at all times.

Unless they're going barefooted.

The Colorado Supreme Court upheld a conviction of a man for assault with a deadly weapon because he kicked someone else and hurt them badly. (This overturned an appeals court decision which had changed the charge to simple assault.) The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that his foot could be considered a deadly weapon under Colorado Law.

Does that not imply that wearing shoes is concealing a deadly weapon, and that in turn anyone in Colorado who wants to wear shoes must get a conceal-carry license from the State for their feet? (Or their hands if they wear gloves? What's this going to do to Colorado's ski industry?)
