I live in New Castle. A couple of months ago I noticed the city had put up new signs in our main city park (Baker Park). These signs had park rules on them. The park has been closed to vehicular traffic until Easter weekend. I drove up to one of the signs this week. I noticed one of the rules stated, "No fireworks, fires or weapons."
Would this violate the preemption statute? I am familiar with the Hammond case. However, if I remember correctly, Hammond's signs existed prior to the law going into effect. Does "weapon" include firearms?
I suppose I need to go to a city council meeting and raise the issue with the mayor and the city council.
Or I guess I could just OC through the park and see what happens.
