The title may be a bit imprecise...
I volunteer at my Church doing overnight security/night watch quite often. It's not officially security, it mostly consists of watching the property, making sure the doors are locked, watching security cameras, and keeping the homeless and drunk bar patrons off the property. And hooligans are less likely to cause problems when there is a live person in the building.
The Church is within Denver city limits.
I do want to carry open while on the property, I am "in control of the property."
Here's the data I am working with:
1. Denver has make open carrying illegal.
2. I do not have a concealed weapons permit.
3. I prefer carrying open.
4. This statute (from what I can read) says that I can carry concealed while I am in control of the property.
C.R.S. 18-12-105 (2014)
So two questions:
1. Am I legal concealed carrying while watching the property?
2. Am I legal open carrying while watching the property?
First post here, I really appreciate the resource!

...(2) It shall not be an offense if the defendant was:
(a) A person in his or her own dwelling or place of business or on property owned or under his or her control at the time of the act of carrying; or
(b) A person in a private automobile or other private means of conveyance who carries a weapon for lawful protection of such person's or another's person or property while traveling; or
