Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association addresses Limerick Township council
On Thursday November 30th, 2006 Daniel Pehrson of the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association along with Ted Noga, a Limerick resident addressed the Limerick Township council regarding the township's prohibition of firearms in local parks.
The Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association is concerned that such a law is in direct conflict with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's pre-emption statute, which prohibits localities within the Commonwealth from regulating the lawful ownership, posession, transfer, or transportation of firearms, ammunition, or ammunition components when carried or transported for purposes not prohibited by the laws of the Commonwealth.
During the meeting the issue was raised to the council and they were provided with the revlevant statutes so they may look into the issue.
Ted Noga will be heading up future inquiries with the Township to make certain that they have looked into the issue and are taking action to reconcile it. He will be attending the next meeting on December 14th to raise the issue again pressing for an answer and action. We highly encourage any members who are residents of Limerick, PA and nearby areas to contact Mr. Noga and coordinate with him to appear at the meeting as well.
Thank you all for your continued support of the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association, we hope that this can be the first in a long series of actions undertaken by the organization to preserve our rights.

Hey all,
Made a post in the sleeping thread on this topic you might be interested in. As the post says, I don't know what's up with this issue, and it's just a personal experience. Take it FWIW.

Re: Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association addresses Limerick Township council
I would be interested in obtaining any supporting data you presented to the Limerick Township Council. In Berks County, firearms are prohibited in all county parks except for special hunts organized by the county commissioners.
I wrote the Berks County Parks Department and asked if this applied to people with a License to Carry. They told me the license was not valid in their parks. I would love to have a legal precedence that I could present to the county commissioners. I am not a lawyer, so any advice anyone can give me on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association addresses Limerick Township council
There's a long discussion about the ins and outs of these policies in this thread.
We're still very interested in resolving these issues with regards to unofficial "off-limits" places that counties seem to think they can make, however at the moment our resources are being focused mostly on all the terrible legislation being put forth right now.Dan P, Founder & President, Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association
