So in theory if they didn't have a sign at EVERY public entrance then you could argue that it's not a valid OC ban. Would be quite the fight but I would think one could win.

Pieces of paper tend to blow away in the wind......... Hint, hint........[Tooth]

State law devolved the open carry questions to local governments, at the same time it reserved regulation of CCW to the state.

The only exception to state pre-emption is that Denver was allowed to keep its home-grown "AW Ban" on magazines over 20 rounds.

Was it not allowed to also keep it's OC in effect also? As in the city of Denver does not allow OC anywhere....

throw the piece of paper away.[Beer]

first rub the paper in some dog doodo, then put it in the trash...

Bottom law is that open carry restrictions are not preempted. They are enforceable.
