Why would you want to carry a baton?
Why on earth would you want to carry a baton, when you can legally carry a gun (without a permit)?
CRS: 18-12-105 - Unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon - unlawful possession of weapons.
(1) A person commits a class 2 misdemeanor if such person knowingly and unlawfully: (a) Carries a knife concealed on or about his or her person; or (b) Carries a firearm concealed on or about his or her person; or
blah blah
(2) It shall NOT be an offense if the defendant was:
(b) A person in a private automobile or other private means of conveyance who carries a weapon for lawful protection of such person's or another's person or property while traveling; or
more blah blah.
You think Denver enacted an ordinance to try and stop the legal practice of having a gun in your car for protection while travelling, they did and the state over ruled them:
CRS: 18-12-105.6 – Limitation on local ordinances regarding firearms in private vehicles.
(a) A person carrying a weapon in a private automobile or other private means of conveyance for lawful protection of such person's or another's person or property, as permitted in sections 18-12-105 (2) (b) and 18-12-105.5 (3) (c), may tend to travel in or through different county, city and county, and municipal jurisdictions en route to the person's destination;
(2) (a) Based on the findings specified in subsection (1) of this section, the general assembly concludes that the carrying of weapons in private automobiles or other private means of conveyance for lawful protection of a person's or another's person or property while traveling into or through a municipal, county, or city and county jurisdiction, regardless of the number of times the person stops in a jurisdiction, is a matter of statewide concern and is not an offense. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no municipality, county, or city and county shall have the authority to enact or enforce any ordinance or resolution that would restrict a person's ability to travel with a weapon in a private automobile or other private means of conveyance for lawful protection of a person's or another's person or property while traveling into or through a municipal, county, or city and county jurisdiction, regardless of the number of times the person stops in a jurisdiction.
That means Denver's liberal crap laws don't work..... "state wide concern".
So I would carry it in the vehicle concealed and don't tell the cop. Thats what I would do but I'm not a lawayer, I could be full of crap. Read the Colorado revised Statues for yourself.
