Mount Joy Township appears to have the same problem that West Earl Township has.

No person shall bring into or upon Township property, nor have in his or her possession, nor discharge or set off anywhere upon Township property a revolver, pistol, shotgun, rifle, air rifle, air gun, or any gun, rifle, firearm, bows, or slings or other weapon that discharges projectiles either by air or explosive substance or by any other force. This subsection shall not apply to any police officer or other duly appointed law enforcement officer while carrying out the duties and responsibilities of his or her position.

While it's under the Parks and Recreation section, isn't their definition of property a little too broad?

Denver Borough

Except in necessary defense of person and property and except as provided in § 106-3 of this chapter, it shall be unlawful for any person to use, fire, or discharge any gun or other firearm within the Borough of Denver.

Looks like they're good to go with the standard "self defense clause"

A. No person shall discharge within any Borough park any firearms as that term is defined by § 6120(b) of the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act, except for the justifiable use of force as authorized by Chapter 5 of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code. No person shall use or possess within any Borough park any bow and arrow, slingshot, air rifle or any other device (other than firearms as defined above) capable of throwing any projectile of any sort, including the hand throwing of rocks or stones intended to be used as weapons. This section shall not be operative in any specific area now designated or to be designated in the future by the Borough as a rifle range, archery range, or any other specific area whose purpose is to allow the activities otherwise prohibited by this section.
[Amended 7-26-2010 by Ord. No. 592]
