CHAPTER I
ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNMENT
INTRODUCTION
Administration and Government
As a result of a Constitutional Amendment approved by the voters in 1986, the General Assembly passed Act 62 in April, 1972, which gave municipalities the choice of either Home Rule powers or a choice of several options to change its present structure.

The State College Borough Council, in June, 1972, voted to place the question of a Government Study Commission on the ballot for the November, 1972 election. By an overwhelming margin, the voters of State College approved the question, electing the Commission.

The Government Study Commission organized in November, 1972, and held a public hearing in March, 1973, to hear interested citizens. In April, 1973, the Commission unanimously voted to adopt a Resolution which initiated the drafting of a Home Rule Charter for the Borough. By August, 1973, the Commission completed and advertised its text and held a second public hearing on August 21, 1973, to submit the proposal to the citizens of State
College.

On August 22, 1973, the Commission adopted the Charter and voted to place it on the November, 1973 ballot. The election resulted in 4,168 of the 5,002 citizens (84 percent) voting in favor of the Home Rule Charter, which became effective January 1, 1976.

Law in particular:

12S.C.Ord.103(f) [probably an incorrect way to cite]
f. Firearms, Weapons, Etc. No person shall have in his possession, bring into or use in any park, whether carried concealed or carried open, any fire arms, sling shots, fire crackers, fireworks or other missile-propelling instruments or explosives or arrows (except as allowed in a designated archery area) or other dangerous weapons, which have such properties as to cause annoyance or injury to any person or property.

I imagine that the question is was this section enacted before preemption.
