- The airport's operating authority cites the county ordinance creating the airport's operating authority as their mandate to restrict firearms (the county ordinance predates the Uniform Firearms Act).
- The county commissioners claim it's the airport authority that's doing the restricting, even though the county's ordinance is the one cited, and the county does the appointing of the airport authority's management.
Yes, taking care of the small fish (Limerick Township) is important, but we mustn't forget the big fish, too. |
1) There is no law against carrying in the unsecured area of an airport.
2) Doesn't matter what ordinance they have or when it was dated, the UFA is the laws of the land as far as carrying a firearm.
3) Sounds like everyone has their heads up their butts.
