I gotta go there in a couple weeks. Is it legal?

Check pages 3 and 4.

Looks like if they have metal detectors it may be a no go.

Never seen metal detectors there. I have heard about signs saying no CCW, but they are not legal.

RMGO Rocks. The only gun organization I give above the mandatory dues.

I will hold my tongue on how I feel about Dudley Brown.

You are good to go. They are owned by the City and County of Denver and as a result they cannot ban the carry of handguns by CHP holders because they cannot override the State law as a municipality.
