Denver City Council will discuss a proposal to prohibit concealed carry in city buildings and public parks during their Wednesday meeting.
The proposal would amend the Denver Revised Municipal Code to prohibit concealed carry within city parks and buildings owned by, leased by or leased to the city.
Exemptions would include: law enforcement, military personnel, licensed security guards and individuals carrying for a legitimate sporting activity, who have valid authorization while at specific shooting ranges and those lawfully traveling with a firearm. During the April 14 meeting, Councilmember Kevin Flynn wanted to know what kind of crime the proposal was trying to prevent and if there had been any criminal incidents with concealed carry permit holders in city parks that would prompt the need for legislation. He also wanted to know why there was only outreach to anti-gun violence groups and not any outreach to concealed carry groups.
