I would think that Colorado OC'ers (without a CCW) must abide by the federal gun free school zones act. To be exempt, you must have a license of some sort, whether it's like Illinois where they have a FOID, or Michigan where we have handgun registration, or a CCW from the state in which the school zone resides.
^ 'Tis true... However, this only applies to K-12 schools as colleges are left to make their own rules. All of them technically ban carry of any sort after the new ruling, if I remember correctly, but at best they can ask you to leave, if you refuse it's trespassing.
Tis Not True
As you are a "valid" Colorado citizen, your State License or State Drivers License IS 100% your "License" from the state of Colorado to Open Carry.
In Michigan, you are allowed to OC as a resident of Colorado with a "license" from Colorado that you are allowed to own/carry a handgun. Technically- your Colorado residency and proof (D.L. or State ID) is your "license" to carry from Colorado.
In other words; since there is No Colorado license to open carry, the default is in proving residency in Colorado. Residency is proven by State ID or State DL in this case.
If there is a "license" exception; then Colorado residency meets the requirement for possession and carry of a firearm. It's our Constitution that licenses Colorado citizens- nothing more needed.
