Restricted Concealed Carry Signs in Pueblo Colorado | HGWTC
Not Every Gun Sign Means “No Guns Allowed”
Many permit holders assume every firearm sign means concealed carry is prohibited. That is not always true.
Some signs prohibit:
- Open carry only
- Unlicensed concealed carry
- Weapons inside secured facilities
- Entry beyond metal detector checkpoints
- Specific restricted government locations
Understanding what the sign actually says matters.
Open Carry Restrictions
Many Pueblo residents have seen signs stating:
“The Open Carrying of Firearms or Deadly Weapons Within This Building Is Prohibited”
This sign normally means:
✔ Concealed carry may still be lawful
✔ Open carry is prohibited
✔ The firearm must remain concealed
This becomes confusing when similar signs appear at buildings that already prohibit possession entirely because of security screening or controlled entry points.
Always evaluate:
- Metal detectors
- Security screening
- Court facilities
- Jails
- Posted restrictions
Licensed Concealed Carry vs Open Display
Some signs contain two separate rules in one statement.
Example:
“Bringing concealed weapons that are not legally licensed or permitted, or openly displaying a weapon except by law enforcement officials is prohibited.”
Read carefully.
Part one:
Licensed concealed carry holders may be allowed.
Part two:
Open display is prohibited.
Many people stop reading after the first line and misunderstand the entire sign.

What About “No Guns” Signs?
Colorado handles posted signs differently than some states.
Some states give posted signs direct force of law.
Colorado is different.
A posted sign may not automatically create a criminal violation by itself, but refusing to leave after notification could create additional problems.
Carry permit holders should understand both state law and property rights.

You don’t state the answer to the second sign. Does my cc permit offer as a valid license for my concealed weapon or not? Or does the weapon itself need a special license. Confusing to say the least.
yes your permit is a valid license just like on the RTD bus and train in Denver
