Re: Denver fair Lancaster Open carry.
They can make all the rules they want. They just can't enforce them criminally.
Let's not forget there are still species of tropical penguins living in the Galapagos.

Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Re: Denver fair Lancaster Open carry.
The preemption statute says that municipalities can't (not in exact words) make the firearms laws of the Commonwealth more restrictive than what's provided in the UFA. So they can't decide to criminalize things by ordinance that are not crimes in the UFA. So they can't make it a crime to carry in a park or in a town hall meeting room.
What they can do is make rules governing the use of the park or the meeting room that include the possession of firearms... as long as they don't attach criminal penalties to them. The problem comes when you decide not to follow the rules and are asked to leave... then you get into a whole other realm that has not been tested yet by the courts.

Re: Denver fair Lancaster Open carry.
Thanks. There's a church down here that at one point had the ushers out directing traffic so people could get out, I think they got told to knock it off because they weren't authorized to stop traffic on the road to wave people out of the parking lot. Since then there's been a couple of tacticool constables out directing.
