The law was written so that people like you would be able to transit the state without a problem. The reality is it has never been tested in a case like yours as nobody (outside of Denver/Boulder) enforces the law, and almost no one (possibly no one) has ever been charged.
Technically denver did/does have a preexisting awb that I think coverd mag capacity, but no idea on details.
If you are just passing thru just carry gun stuff out of direct line of sight, you would have to be the worlds least lucky person to run into any troube.
A bigger risk is driving thru denver county, traffic on 25 sucks especially during rush hours. And if on 470 most people speed, but the cops hide on merge ramps to screw with people flying in. Easier mark than dealing with the crooks.
