Denver: City Council Voting to Ban Concealed Carry Thanks to State’s Gutted Preemption Law

[Charlie T Waite]

Next Wednesday at 10:30am, the Denver City Council Safety, Housing, Education & Homelessness Committee has scheduled a vote on a measure to prohibit concealed carry in certain locations.  The hearing will be held virtually with Zoom.  NRA Members and Second Amendment supporters are strongly encouraged to attend the virtual meeting and make their opposition known!

Bill 22-0401 will amend Chapters 38 & 39 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code, to prohibit concealed carry within city parks and buildings owned by, leased by, or leased to the city.  You are allowed to watch and offer public comment during the virtual meeting and you can sign up to speak by visiting www.denvergov.org/councilpublicinput and clicking on “Public Input in Committee.”  Those wishing to sign up will need to click on the above link 90 minutes prior to the hearing in order to do so.  So please sign up between 9:00am and 10:00am.

Again, it is extremely important that NRA Members and Second Amendment supporters attend this hearing and sign up to voice their strong opposition to Bill 22-0401.
