Section 2 #8 The carrying of any loaded firearm by any individual attending a
Temporary Outdoor Activity, with the exception of the Pennsylvania
State Police, the East Marlborough Township Police or personnel of a
similar law enforcement agency approved by the East Marlborough
Township Police.

Has anyone seen this?

[Jorg Schlagzeuger]

I wish them luck in enforcing this.

To add to it, Section 5 indicates that the sponsor is responsible for ensuring, among other "nuisances," that no firearms are brought to the event:

The Sponsor of a Temporary Outdoor Activity shall assure that no Nuisance Conditions shall occur as a result of such an Activity. Without limiting the foregoing, the Sponsor shall... (iv) assure that no loaded firearms are brought onto the property during a Temporary Outdoor Activity...

I'd like to see how many sponsors actually set up metal detectors/similar to comply with this provision.

Is thier anyone out there in East Marlboroough who wants to host an "open carry" bondfire for 201+ guests?

I'll make some calls concerning this, see what I can do. I may be able to make their next meeting, but I'm not 100% sure on that just yet.
