Re: The entire Lock Haven area is in violation of preemption
I just talked to Tom Bossert who is one of the County Commissioners and he was VERY supportive and will be making calls of his own about the issue. Thanks to all who are helping get this changed.

Re: The entire Lock Haven area is in violation of preemption
Let me know your thoughts on this... I am going to submit this to the local paper as a letter to the editor:
Borough Ordinances and Essential Liberty
All of us like our communities to be safe places for we and our families to live and enjoy. We all want order and peace and expect our neighbors to abide by the law and not commit crimes which inflict harm upon us. Sometimes in the effort to preserve their safety good people go too far and infringe upon the rights of others to ensure their safety as they see fit. This is why we have a Bill of Rights in our U.S. Constitution; because the framers of this country knew the nature of goverment to overstep its bounds even with the best of intentions. Unfortunately, several communities in the area have committed a violation against the civil rights of their citizens through several illegal borough and city ordinances. Mill Hall, Flemington, and the city of Lock Haven have provisions in their laws that limit the right of law abiding citizens to carry arms in defense of themselves and their families in parks and recreation areas. In addition, Flemington borough has an ordinance prohibiting obcense language in the park which is a direct violation of free speech. These laws and in particualar those banning the carry of firearms are in direct violation of state law which prohibits local government from regulating the carry of firearms where state law does not prohibit. Allow me to quote first the PA Uniform Firearms Act(§6120.):
"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."
Now allow me to quote our state constitution:
""The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned."
So if the law is clear why is there a problem? Why do I have to bother fighting for a right that is established so clearly by state law and our U.S. Constitution? It is the same reason most civil liberties and freedoms fall by the wayside and its one word: safety. In the name of feeling safe people will hand over right after right. They will even give up the rights of others to make themselves feel safer, but what they fail to understand is the principle of essential liberty. The idea that there a concrete set of freedoms which are needed for the continued success of a free society. Laying any one of these down in the name of any pragmatic ideal is foolhardy if you want to preserve individual liberty. I will use one my most favorite quotes from the man who helped father not just this state's government but that of our nation:
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin "
I am submitting letters to each of these local governments and requested they change their law to reflect state law. I am writing this as a service to those who agree and disagree with me alike in the hope that I have stirred your mind and your awareness to the importance of upholding and preserving ALL of our civil rights as citizens not only in our respective communities but as a nation.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this.
Sincerely,
Timothy L HavenerLast edited by t1m0thy; April 21st, 2010 at 01:30 PM.

Re: The entire Lock Haven area is in violation of preemption
Someone suggested to send it to the centre daily times so I just emailed them a copy as well. I also dropped off the signed letters at the post office and sent them certified mail signature required. Let's see what happens.

Re: The entire Lock Haven area is in violation of preemption
Nice Letter. So much better than the one I was trying to put together.
After talking with dad it sounds like several local NRA members will be at the Mill Hall boro meeting Tuesday. That group may get larger after the Local friends of the NRA Banquet in Sunday.The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

Re: Mill Hall Boro in violation of preemption
So is Virginia Beach?:
Virginia Beach City Code
Sec. 23-12. Abusive language.
If any person shall, in the presence or hearing of another, curse or abuse such other person, or use any violent abusive language to such other person concerning himself or any of his relations, or otherwise use such language under circumstances reasonably calculated to provoke a breach of the peace, he shall be guilty of a Class 3 misdemeanor.
(Code 1965, § 23-1)
State law references: Similar provisions, Code of Virginia, § 18.2-416.
