Doylestown PA has an ordinance against Open Carry?
My dad just joined a gun club in Doylestown, and they told him you can't open carry on the premises because of a local ordinance against open carry. Has anyone else heard about this? Such an ordinance would violate PA state law…

Re: Doylestown PA has an ordinance against Open Carry?
Sounds like BS to me. What club? Who are "they"? I am looking at the General Code for the Township of Doylestown online right now. So far, I see no ordinance about open carry, only the discharge of firearms...

I don't know the name of the club; I'll ask him tomorrow. Maybe it was a township within Doylestown?

Ah, maybe this is it...
Chapter 119: PARKS AND RECREATION AREAS
Article 1: Conduct In Parks
119-9: Firearms; Hunting; Fireworks
A. Other than an officer of the law, no person shall carry or discharge a firearm, rifle or other weapon within the park system.
I believe this is a preemption violation.While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

Only one of two possibilities
1) Pre emption violation
OR
2) Club policy on private property . ( Which they are well within their rights to enact ). If thats the case , one could argue that blaming it on " a local ordinance " provides cover for the Club from members accusing them of not being full 2A Supporters .Si vis pacem, para bellum

Is this a "GUN CLUB" run by the Brady Campaign???
I would love to go in there armed with documentation, found out what's really going on.

Even if there is a rule it's null and void because PA has complete preemtion. The locality cannot regulate carry...someone local needs to have it removed.

Both the township and borough have that prohibition listed in their ecodes for carrying in parks.
This is the borough. (see page 10, §206) Updated 12 - 15 - 2008
