Well...
How does that work with pre-emption laws?
Can you personally hold the city council responsiable (as an accomplice) if you get shot by someone while in one of these restricted areas as they contributed to you getting shot by not allowing you to protect yourself?
Do you still have to pay city taxes since they are restricting you from entering the parks and public buildings? You shouldn't be taxed on a place they won't allow you to go.
Preemption does not apply as CO statute does allow local municipalities to ban in certain areas of the city provided it is posted. I know that the parks (at least by me) and all city buildings are posted with "No Open Carry" signs...Denver proper is a whole different beast...no OC anywhere...just hasn't been challenged. I don't have $$$ or time to do it...
Assuming the law was created by council in their ex-offico capacity they would be immune from being personally responsible...though I suppose you could sue the City in some type of civil proceeding.
Taxes pay for far more than buildings, so I don't think I'd win that argument. Married adults with no kids still pay municipal taxes for schools...so...

"Example of a Municipal Open Carry ban The City of Castle Rock has an open carry ban that extends to nearly every city-owned location. Castle Rock City Ordinance 9.04.165 reads:
