Monday, Westminster City Council members heard opinions from multiple community members about whether the city should opt out of a Colorado Law banning guns in sensitive spaces.Under the new law, which went into effect July 1, 2024, bringing a firearm into a building where a meeting of a local government’s governing body is being conducted is a class 1 misdemeanor. However, the law does allow local governments to opt-out.
According to the city council meeting agenda, city staff recommended that the city not opt out of the new law, saying that SB 24-131 increases city hall security by limiting firearms. "This is a time of real political volatility in our country, and I want to make sure that when we come to testify or when the elected officials are speaking about an issue, all of us are safe. And having concealed carry doesn't do that," said Kelly.
