I've been known to split lanes in a complete standstill on I-70, but at 4-5 MPH. Lane sharing is illegal in 49 of 50 states, so most US drivers don't look for it, or understand how it helps them(by reducing congestion), so it just makes them mad. Then they try to deliberately block it.

Open carry is legal until he steps off the bike, and is in a public area. If he is on private property when he gets off the bike(such as a private driveway, or a parking lot "under a business' control), he can carry openly in Denver. That doesn't mean he won't be contacted by friendly officers asking polite questions, though.
