    Default Can firearms be banned in County Park?

    I’m going to a Compass Orienteering program at the LANCASTER COUNTY PARK tomorrow.
    According to the rules on their website firearms are banned.
    Does anybody know where I can print out the law that overrides their law?
    I would like to print it out and take it with me.
    The rule is number 21 and 28 on their website.

    This was a HOT topic in Lancaster not too long ago. See this thread for details.

    I don't expect you'd have a problem, but if you do, know that we've got your back.

    Their website was just updated 02/21/2008.
    That's why I thought I would play it safe and ask.
    I'll print that out and at the end of the day hand it to them.
    If I give it to them at the beginning of the class they may ask me to leave for some other made up reason.
