2 handguns stolen outside Colorado Capitol from truck belonging to incoming GOP state representative – By Jesse Paul (Colorado Sun) / Jan 7, 2023
State Rep.-elect Ron Weinberg, of Loveland, says he reported the weapons as stolen as soon as he realized they were missing. Both guns were unloaded and secured with trigger locks, he said.
Two handguns were stolen overnight Thursday from a vehicle parked just outside of the Colorado Capitol belonging to a Republican who will be sworn into office Monday as a state representative.
State Rep.-elect Ron Weinberg, of Loveland, said both guns were unloaded and secured with trigger locks, which prevent the firearms from firing until they are removed. Weinberg said he always has trigger locks on his guns and unloads them when they aren’t in use because he is the father of young children.
Weinberg said he reported the pistols as stolen as soon as he realized they had been taken and provided the weapons’ serial numbers to authorities. He said he is cooperating with Denver police and the Colorado State Patrol as they investigate the theft.
“I’m assisting in any way possible,” he said. “I’m working with the Denver Police Department and the Colorado State Patrol to make sure they can bring this to justice.”
