BILLS FOR FINAL CONSIDERATION
Safety, Housing, Education & Homelessness Committee
22-0401 A bill for an ordinance amending the weapons and missiles division
of the offenses chapter of the Denver Revised Municipal Code and the
parks and recreation chapter of the Denver Revised Municipal Code to
prohibit firearms in city-owned or leased buildings and city parks.
Amends Chapters 38 & 39 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code to prohibit
concealed carry within city parks and buildings owned by, leased by, or leased to the
city. The Committee approved filing this item at its meeting on 4-27-22.
A motion offered by Councilmember Hinds, duly seconded by Councilmember Flynn,
that Council Bill 22-0401 be placed upon final consideration and do pass, was
followed by a motion offered by Councilmember CdeBaca, duly seconded by
Councilmember Flynn, that Council Bill 22-0401 be amended in the following
particulars: '1) On page 3, strike lines 13-33 and replace with: “(a) It shall be
unlawful for any person, other than authorized personnel, to possess, display,
flourish, or discharge any firearm within any park, parkway, or mountain park or
other recreational facility. (b) Except as provided in section 38-131, it shall be
unlawful for any person to carry a firearm within any recreational facility that the
city owns, leases, or is leased to the city. (c) It shall be unlawful for any person,
other than authorized personnel, to possess, display, flourish, or use any weapon
other than a firearm within any park, parkway, mountain park or other recreational
facility. (d) It shall be unlawful for any person, other than authorized personnel, to
hunt or kill wildlife or other animals within any park, parkway, mountain park or
other recreational facility. (e) It shall not be an offense under subsection (a) of this
section to possess a firearm within any park, parkway, or mountain park, or other
recreational facility if:”; and 2) On page 4, strike lines 1-11.' to remove parks from
the scope of this ordinance for several reasons: First, there are major concerns
about the ability to enforce in open space without profiling. Other cities have banned
guns in city owned buildings because it is enforceable. Given the national and
historical data about law enforcement's racial bias in relation to pre-textual
interactions, removing parks from this ordinance would reduce potential for law
enforcement to racially profile people and use unwarranted force on "suspected"
violators of this ordinance. Second, if parks are not removed from this ordinance,
Open Space including mountain park parking lots could become targets for car
break-ins when firearms are left in vehicles. The amount of stolen guns from cars is
increasing and the current ordinance would encourage CCW carriers to leave guns in
cars. The motion to amend failed to carry by the following vote:
