Looks like they have some strange laws there. I read the article & I'm still not 100% sure if open carry is legal or not legal where he was at. I'm assuming not legal since he got arrested for it, but what's it saying about different counties/municipalities having different carry laws? Sheesh & I thought the laws here were messed up.....

As I've read to understand it, Colorado has preemption for folks with carry permit, and used to be a "gold star" open carry state, preempted for anyone. But a lawsuit by Denver some time ago got a ruling that individual cities/counties can ban open carry period. The permit is "concealed only", open carry was always just "constitutional" like in many states. Now it's "constitutional unless a town doesn't like it".

The story is as usual, a garble. Apparently that city did indeed ban it, even though one sentence suggests that it didn't.
