For more than 40 years, a Pennsylvania ordinance banned fire arms in city parks, so when a group of people held a rally for Open Carry Pennsylvania in Perry Square last year, they were cited for it.
It did not end there, though. Demonstrator Justin Dillon sued the city over the ordinance, claiming it violated his second amendment rights. He won.
In January, the Commonwealth Court ruled the ordinance was “unlawful” and “unenforceable,” giving a thumbs-up to carry guns in city parks once again.
