I see this type of thing all the time in the Air Force. Not with relation to guns but things in general. We are given latitude to "enhance" the regulations we follow but can't take away from them. I would think cities could do that as well so long as they are "enhancing" and not detracting from any law. It think that's where this becomes a "gray area" since it would take a court decision to determine if it violated the constitution with regards to 2A. I may be way off base here but that's my $.02[/quote]Right2Carry wrote:So is it possible that a city could enact a city ordinance banning concealed carry throughout the city even for CHL holders?

Can anyone clarify?

It is an attempt to circumvent state law.
I don't think a city has a right to trump state law with a city ordinance. The city of mansfield also has signs at city parks banning all weapons,but it is not of the 30.06 form. I am thinking this is for people who are illegally carrying.
I guess my point is I just don't understand how a city can make up an ordinance that goes against state law. It appears that the city ordinance thing could really be abused. What if your city created an ordinace that forbade open carry on property that you owned or were under control? See how this thing can get out of hand.
