CCW at Coors Field?

[Mtn.man]

I don't think it matters. IIRC if they have either a metal detector, or someone with a metal detector at every entrance (regardless of private or public) you can't carry there. Even if they don't wand everyone, they are there. You can bet your ass the management knows the law too, and thats why they pay the slouch to sit on a bench with a metal detector right next to the entrance.

My mom used to work at Coors Field, thats how I know the metal detector guys are placed at every entrance.

OK so if they have metal detectors how have we been getting in with StSt flasks for the past 7 years? DUH

Well here is the CRS, simple having wands does not cut it. Also every person must be screened. See the section in bold.

18-12-214. Authority granted by permit - carrying restrictions.

(1) (a) A permit to carry a concealed handgun authorizes the permittee to carry a concealed handgun in all areas of the state, except as specifically limited in this section. A permit does not authorize the permittee to use a handgun in a manner that would violate a provision of state law. A local government does not have authority to adopt or enforce an ordinance or resolution that would conflict with any provision of this part 2.

(b) A peace officer may temporarily disarm a permittee, incident to a lawful stop of the permittee. The peace officer shall return the handgun to the permittee prior to discharging the permittee from the scene.

(2) A permit issued pursuant to this part 2 does not authorize a person to carry a concealed handgun into a place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law.

(3) A permit issued pursuant to this part 2 does not authorize a person to carry a concealed handgun onto the real property, or into any improvements erected thereon, of a public elementary, middle, junior high, or high school; except that:

(a) A permittee may have a handgun on the real property of the public school so long as the handgun remains in his or her vehicle and, if the permittee is not in the vehicle, the handgun is in a compartment within the vehicle and the vehicle is locked;

(b) A permittee who is employed or retained by contract by a school district as a school security officer may carry a concealed handgun onto the real property, or into any improvement erected thereon, of a public elementary, middle, junior high, or high school while the permittee is on duty;

(c) A permittee may carry a concealed handgun on undeveloped real property owned by a school district that is used for hunting or other shooting sports.

(a) Security personnel and electronic weapons screening devices are permanently in place at each entrance to the building;

(b) Security personnel electronically screen each person who enters the building to determine whether the person is carrying a weapon of any kind; and

(c) Security personnel require each person who is carrying a weapon of any kind to leave the weapon in possession of security personnel while the person is in the building.

(5) Nothing in this part 2 shall be construed to limit, restrict, or prohibit in any manner the existing rights of a private property owner, private tenant, private employer, or private business entity.

(6) The provisions of this section apply to temporary emergency permits issued pursuant to section 18-12-209.

Also the CRS does permit it, you don't have to meet all 3 criteria, only 1 of 3 will make it illegal. The way the law is set up is so that if the building has A Or B OR C, not A AND B and C.


Also, it is not a "public building" per say, since it is not owned technically by the city. It is owned by the private entity called Denver Metropolitan Major League Baseball Stadium District. The law you posted also allows them to deny carry rights to anyone on their property, which they do not allow.

and since you had to be annoying and bold a law I already knew

tl;dr You can't carry your gun in Coors Field.

Since I get to collect sales tax for the Stadium District, I gotta assume that it's owned by the .gov.

Colorado Mills charged/charges that pif tax and that isn't government owned. Don't know if that is the same though, since it was only the stores on site that charged it.

Read it again... Subsections A, b, and c of Section 4 of that CRS are joined with an AND. The way I read it, all three conditions must be met for carrying to be against that section...

[newracer]

The Denver Metropolitan Major League Baseball Stadium District was formed by the state government and not a private entity. It is a subdivision of the state so if anything a local government and there for (more big font).

18-12-214. Authority granted by permit - carrying restrictions.

(1) (a) A permit to carry a concealed handgun authorizes the permittee to carry a concealed handgun in all areas of the state, except as specifically limited in this section. A permit does not authorize the permittee to use a handgun in a manner that would violate a provision of state law. A local government does not have authority to adopt or enforce an ordinance or resolution that would conflict with any provision of this part 2.

In addition no where in the CRS are firearms banned in the stadium. Glass bottles are banned however.

Also even if it was only one of the three, there are not doing any of the three. They do not screen every person, the metal detectors are not permanent, and they do not have the ability to hold your weapon while in the building.
