Sounds to me like a violation of Preemption. Who'll step up to be the test case?Smokewagon wrote:Sec. 8.03.003 Concealed handguns on city property
(a) The city administrator or his designee is hereby authorized and directed to implement the applicable provisions of this section including posting of premises and notification in the official newspaper. (Ordinance 546, secs. 1, 2, adopted 3/12/96)
(b) It shall be an offence for any person, except a certified fulltime, paid, peace officer or other persons authorized by the chief of police, to enter or attempt to enter upon any city-owned or city-leased property while in the possession of a concealed handgun. (Ordinance 708 adopted 4/8/08)
Does this not violate preemption in the State of Texas? I'm still confused on what a city may or may not regulate. There is a municipal court located in the city hall, and I understand that in part. But the dump grounds, municipal airport, parks, senior citizens center, library, cemetery, golf course, etc. etc. etc. Geez......
