It sounds like what the woman is talking about is preemption. If I were to try to look up anything it would be that. You might try looking in the Colorado State Constitution- at least in California, thats where we find our 'preemption' language cannonized.Yesterday I spoke with a woman at the Denver PD in the R&D department. She told me that what has happened is that there have been a few cases of OC in Denver, but they have never held up because there is some state law prohibiting cities from having "more prohibitive" restrictions than the state itself. What do you all think of this? Was there anything in the Nov 2nd election that may have changed the laws?
This makes little to no sense in light of the case of City and County of Denver v. State of Colorado case last year. What essentially happened is that the Denver District Court ruled SB03-25 a violation of the home rule provisions of the state constitution, and that the city direct appealed to the state Supreme Court. The State Supreme Court issued a 3-3 split decision, which by operation of law, affirms the lower court's judicial ruling but limits the effects to the lower court's jurisdiction.I live near Broadway and Alameda. I started researching gun laws and discovered that open carry was permitted in CO because I feel much more at ease walking to and from my car (on-street parking) with my gun, especially in the light of recent activities near the club "Blue Ice" and assaults nearby. Now that I know that I can carry open I am much more comfortable to be within laws, even though I am looking at obtaining my CCW.
