PA Township outlaws park rule that restricts guns in park.

"Soon after they passed a resolution making a strong, official statement about their support for the right to bear arms, Conoy Township supervisors were surprised to learn that one of their own park rules restricts guns.

During their meeting Thursday, supervisors voted 5-0 to approve a resolution that states the township "shall create no law, ordinance or policy that limits abrogates or infringes upon its law-abiding citizens' constitutionally protected right to bear arms, and objects to any law, state or federal, that attempts to do the same."

When everyone is armed, how do you tell the good guys from the bad? The color of their hats? My guess, these yokels will stop anyone of color carrying a gun.

the state constitution specifically protects an individual right to bear arms.

The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

a bbq in the park with lots of alcohol, a slight disagreement that goes sideways and then bang a tragedy and a huge lawsuit against the state of city
