I noticed an old thread about Ferguson Township and saw that their no gun ordinance is still on the book.

Yeah, it's a goat rope. The townships say it is up to the Centre Region Parks and Rec to change it, and the CRPR says that each township needs to change their particular ordinance and then tell the CRPR what they are doing. I going to get started on this again.

Re: Any Ferguson Township Preemtion vioalation updates
Well, where does the ordinance exist? According to my research it is a township ordinance which should be addressed by their solicitor not the county. I am not quite sure if the county has an ordinance but if so that would be apart from the township ordinance which I know exists.

Re: Any Ferguson Township Preemtion vioalation updates
Tim,
The CRPR stands for Centre Region Parks and Rec. The townships kinda bind things together under COG - Centre Region Council of Governments (for certain things), and the lines sometimes get really blurred. Each township does have it's own ordinances but sometimes they form group to do things (like CRPR). But then you run into squabbles like this between the group and the individual govs.
I think what is going to have to happen is that multiple letters will have to go out to each township (all reading alike as the ordinances all seem to read alike) and then when they all reply and say it goes to CRPR then take all of those responses to the CRPR and say "here you go, what are YOU going to do?Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member

Re: Any Ferguson Township Preemtion vioalation updates
Ron,
I think that this would be something to bring up at a county commissioner meeting. I called and got the info. They have public comment at the beginning of the meeting so all we would need to do is go down and sign up and talk with them.
I called down and the meetings are every Tuesday at 10am. When would be a good Tuesday for you?
Here is the information:
Centre County Board of Commissioners
Willowbank County Office Building
420 Holmes Street
Bellefonte PA 16823-1488
Phone: (814) 355-6700

Re: Any Ferguson Township Preemtion vioalation updates
Tim,
I'll need to see what is going on. With my work schedule I'm typically out of town every other week and when in town am answering phones (technical support for the equipment we make). I should be able to schedule a little longer early lunch here in the near future, especially if some of the other engineers are in house at the same time as me. I'll drop you a line when I can work things out.Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member
