Denver City Council bans concealed carry guns in all city buildings, parks

The council voted 9-3 to enact the new restrictions on where guns are and aren’t allowed in Denver. The law is expected to take effect once signs are posted at the public entrances to buildings and around parks, city attorney’s office spokeswoman Jacqlin Davis said Monday.

Council President Stacie Gilmore spoke passionately in favor of the legislation at the committee level.
