Montgomery county Permit to carry concealed not valid in Montgomery County parks.

Maybe it would be easier if someone just purchased a big, fat, black sharpie and crossed firearms off the list on all the signs?

But that would be vandalism of municipal property.

I don't make a habit of searching a nearby tree to find the rules and regs of the local park. Not that I'd leave the gun home while in the park anyway, but still...

I like to think of it more as 'art'.

This is why we need to get 2011 up for a vote and passed.

Someone should have this copied and laminated and staple it up above every one of the county's signs:

Title 18: Crimes and Offenses
Chapter 61: Firearms and Other Dangerous Articles

Subchapter A: Uniform Firearms Act

Section 6120: Limitation on the regulation of firearms and ammunition.

(a) General rule. No county, municipality, or township may in any manner regulate the lawful ownership, possession, transfer, or transportation of firearms, ammunition or ammunition components when carried or transported for purposes not prohibited by the laws of this Commonwealth.

Although it's probably illegal to post signs of your own in the park, this post is full of win!

Sign says county commisioners. There's 3 county commisioners. I'll try emailing for the hell of it. I spent a half hour reading the thread. Now I'm all worked up. Some of those emails from 2009 were well written. I might have to borrow some of the wording and statutes. Hope no one minds.

If anyone gets through to the proper channels and needs other people to participate as well (calls, emails, protests etc.) just let us know.

FWIW: My fiance and I were here walking our dog a few weeks ago. These signs are in the park:



I don't see firearms/guns listed here though:

Except for BB, pellet, paintball & air:

What park was that?

Ok I spent an hour writing up an email to the mont co commissioners. I explained how the park and trail rules don't mention firearms so the signs must be a mistake. I stated the statute and some case law. Before I send it I want to go see one of these signs. Anyone know what parks have them?
