No firearms @ port providence (schuylkill trail) UPDATE 6/3/14

[Takem]

I was at port providence trail head today in phoenixville. It's montgomery county. Its part of the schuylkill trail next to reynolds dog park. I saw this sign saying no firearms. I'm going to have to send some emails to the dept of parks and heritage services.

There is a sign at the Richard Etchberger section of the schuylkill river in hamburg that is almost the exact same. I couldn't find out who actually owned the trail. I'm planning on sending an email as well.

The Schuylkill River Trail is owned, managed and developed by a coalition of different organizations along its entire length.

I got a response saying the deputy director for PY&HS is out until monday and then he will review my request.

has anyone ever been charged under C.S. 6120? Can they be?

I think the rule has something to do with retarded montco park regulations, that still prohibit firearms. We a have thread about it somewhere here.

If the trail is owned by these different organizations then preemption doesn't apply right? Unless they are state agencies. I haven't had a chance to look into it yet so I don't know if they are or not.

Mont co county changed their rules. It's on their parks site.

Looks like Montgomery County Division of Parks, Trails, and Historic Sites maintains that section. I wonder how long the sign has been there. Probably a few years.
