Public transportation seem to be off limits according to Rocky Mountain gun owners if you open carry. I don't see a restriction for concealed permit holders in the section that lists places off limits. If they have metal detectors at every entrance and security requires you to leave your weapon with them then it is illegal to carry it past the detectors.
Where can I not Open Carry? Several places. These fit into four main categories:
Prohibited by Law Areas, Prohibiting Municipalities, Prohibiting Private Businesses and
Prohibiting Private Residences.
-Prohibited by Law Areas:
-Facility of public transportation. (If loaded)
18-9-118. Firearms, explosives, or incendiary devices in facilities of public transportation.
A person commits a class 6 felony if, without legal authority, he has
any loaded firearm or explosive or incendiary device, as defined in section 9-7-103, C.R.S., in his possession in, or carries, brings, or causes to be carried or brought any of such items into, any facility of public transportation, as defined in section 18-9-115 (4).
18-9-115. Endangering public transportation.
(4) "Facility of public transportation" includes a public conveyance and any area, structure, or device which is designed, adapted, and used to support, guide, control, permit, or facilitate the movement, starting, stopping, takeoff, landing, or servicing of a public conveyance or the loading or unloading of passengers or goods.
-Chambers, galleries, or offices of the general assembly, or a building in which a legislative hearing or meeting is being or is to be conducted
18-12-105. Unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon - unlawful possession of weapons.
(c) Without legal authority, carries, brings, or
has in such person's possession a firearm or any explosive, incendiary, or other dangerous device on the property of or within any building in which the chambers, galleries, or offices of the general assembly, or either house thereof, are located, or in which a legislative hearing or meeting is being or is to be conducted, or in which the official office of any member, officer, or employee of the general assembly is located.
(2) It shall not be an offense if the defendant was:
(c) A person who, at the time of carrying a concealed weapon, held a valid written permit to carry a concealed weapon issued pursuant to section 18-12-105.1, as it existed prior to its repeal, or, if the weapon involved was a handgun, held a valid permit to carry a concealed handgun or a temporary emergency permit issued pursuant to part 2 of this article; except that it shall be an offense under this section if the person was carrying a concealed handgun in violation of the provisions of section 18-12-214; or
It seems that, in this instance, open carry would be legal with a concealed weapons permit.

At
this website is found a table of all the municipal government names, most of which have websites.
Denver's prohibition on open carry, which is not explicitly stated
Parker's prohibition is on page 239
Breckenridge's arcane open carry policy is on pages 4 and 5
Pueblo's open carry ban in government or private buildings that post "no firearms." on pages 18-20
(on page 40 of this document is Pueblo's law against weapons -- open carry only, as state law governs concealed -- possession in places that sell alcohol)
