    Default Pittsburgh Councilman Wants To Ban Guns In Parks

    http://www.wpxi.com/news/top-stories...arks/614954834

    PITTSBURGH - There is currently no law that says people can’t have guns in city parks -- but a Pittsburgh councilman wants to change that.

    Councilman Dan Gilman told Channel 11’s news exchange partners at TribLIVE that he was in Mellon Park in August when he first realized no such law existed. He said he saw people carrying assault rifles during protests that followed the violent clash between white nationalists and counterprotesters in Charlottesville, N.C.

    During a city council meeting Tuesday, Gilman plans to introduce legislation that would ban firearms in city parks. The legislation would mimic a state law that prohibits people from carrying uncased guns in state parks, except in areas designated for target shooting or hunting during hunting season.

    A member of a statewide gun-owners group told TribLIVE that state law prohibits municipalities from enacting gun regulations, pointing to an ordinance in a township near Philadelphia that was overturned by Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court.

    Yeah....I'll have to remember this one also when I walk the dog.
    We are Americans first, never forget this.

    While carrying 15 rounds of 9MM JHP, I would suspect.

    Yet, not a single round was fired.
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

    Of course it is. From what I can tell, virtually everyone in Pittsburgh is in favour of more government, high taxes, free shit for everybody, more gays, more illegals, more bike lanes, less cars and no guns. Hell, it aspires to BE Chicago.

    Someone needs to acquaint him with this:

    "PA Code Title 18, § 6120. Limitation on the regulation of firearms and ammunition.
