This would seem to be where Denver steps over the line.
Denver takes the position...that the Colorado CHP ONLY regulates concealed carry of a handgun. That is simply not true.
The Colorado CHP - in reality operates as a handgun permit....except for the fact that Colorado law - unlike Texas law for example - does not generally prohibit handgun carry.....and nowhere within the provisions of Colorado CHP law is concealment required.
Denver must recognize the CHP authority due to the State preemption authority over the CHP . Denver may not then proceed to enhance the State preempted CHP authority by requiring concealment.
