I've been wondering, how is it that Denver can do something that is so obviously, blatantly unconstitutional?

Same reason Heller passed with a narrow 5-4 margin: Some judges rightly interpret the law as it's written. Other judges wrongly feel it's their duty to twist the law to further their own agenda.

Colorado's Supreme Court hung on a decision that should have overwhelmingly overturned Denver's ban on open carry. By state law, a hung decision is considered to affirm the lower court from which the appeal originated.

Sadly, some judges get it. Some don't.

The OP's link to the actual decision no longer works. Apparently they keep them on their website for just 5 years, even though the cost would have been less than 1 cent in terms of the going rate for hard drive storage. Conspiracy? Or just flawed policy preventing citizen access to monumental(ly flawed) decisions?
