Not positive but I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that if you are a resident in Colorado you must have a Colorado permit in order to carry. So they only allow people to carry who match that but just happen to be in another state. I got my Utah permit before my Colorado permit but I still wasn't allowed to carry even though Utah permits are acceptable in Colorado. I would be happy to see this law changed but I have a feeling it would take a majority of Pro-gun state congressmen in order to get that changed. I am not sure if Scott would sign that bill, he went against a bill that would take the waiting period for gun show buys from 3 days down to 1 or so his web site says. We can always try and I would be happy to try to get a representative to change the law and see what happens I just don't have a lot of hopes that it would actually happen after the next election.
We need someone in Denver to challenge the ruling so that they have standing with the courts. Finding someone who is an open carry advocate in Denver would be like trying to find someone who is straight in San Francisco
Edit to add:
I thought about it a little more and it may not have to be someone in Denver to challenge it. There may be a chance after the next election but a few things need to happen. First is that Scott is elected Gov., next is that the 4 Colorado supreme court justices that are up for retention are voted out (all would be great but just 2-3 would probably work), third is that Scott would have to appoint pro-gun,small gov., constitutionalist,non judicial activist judges to the court. It is possible the biggest hurdle is getting people to vote out the judges. It would still be a long battle that would probably have to go up to the Colorado Supreme court or higher to get overturned.
