I badly want to open carry at the Tea Party next week (I know others do, too). I have my CCW, so I can get the gun there, but I'm aware of the Denver prohibition against open carry. I strongly suspect that the Capitol property itself is not part of the City of Denver. It's policed by the State Patrol, and there is no prohibition against firearms in the building itself as far as I can tell. Apparently there were metal detectors set up after 9/11, but they were removed. I found a Denver Post article from 2007 (after the shooting in the Capitol building) that seems to indicate there are no metal detectors currently installed (not that I plan on going inside anyway).
Any thoughts? In general, isn't it reasonable to think that state property isn't annexed to the City it's in? Maybe it's a pipe dream...
