Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
No there is not an active KKK in NOCO. There is / was a chapter back in the 80's & 90's which eventually was ran by Shawn Slater, who was a young up and coming star with in the national party. back in the late 80's - mid 90's.
I would call him on it and then inquire as WC posted about the newest "hate group" the OFA and see how purple he turns.

The KKK was huge in Colorado in the past. I remember reading how it was a unofficial prerequisite to run for any office, i can not remember what time period this was in though.
ETA: After reading BushMasterBoy's link looks like it was the 1920's

KKK? Northern Colorado?
The real place the KKK was dug in during the 1980's and 90's was N. Idaho. and thats all tied into the Ruby Ridge incident. Even last year a KKK member ran for sheriff of Bonner County, ID.

Sorry but the picture of the Klansmen on the Ferris wheel made me chuckle.

Hearsay from older guys. One white and one black told me KKK was very strong in Denver and the state. So much so that so that jobs depended on your affiliations... I do not know, again this from two older guys that lived here....

I was about to say the same thing.
I worked out in Elizabeth for a few years. Coworker there would never admit or deny being a kkk member but admitted as a child handing out pamphlets for the kkk at political rallies. While I was there I was told there was a huge white supremacist church in the area. I drove by it a few times...several big white crosses out back for their "events".
If you want peace, prepare for war.
Used to be some church based group in LaPorte CO that got attention for being racist.
I heard years ago it was a hub for the KKK.
Google LaPorte CO and racist, and I'm sure you will find it.
Never seen them here but i've been thru the pan handle of idaho and run into some.
