TheCO revised statute quoted above authorizes local governments to prohibit open carry. So if every entrance to the Garden of the Gods were posted something like "no open carry of firearms", then open carry would be illegal inside. The local government does not have the authority to ban concealed firearms, at least without metal detectors and guards at every entrance, so GoG's "Firearms are prohibited" alleges a power that is not authorized.
