Greetings,
First post as a new member. I was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with carrying (open or concealed) in Mecosta County Parks (Brower Park, etc...). We camp there every year and I read on their postings in the office that firearms are prohibited.
Their posted rules (as amended in January 2012 link to full listing: http://www.mecostacountyparks.com/2012 Rules and Regs.pdf) state:
Section 23: FIREARMS
No Person Shall:
Sec.23.a Have in possession a firearm or bow unless properly licensed and only during the
appropriate hunting season.
Sec.23.b Carry or have in possession a firearm unless unloaded in both barrel and
magazine.
Sec.23.c Carry or have in possession a bow with an arrow in the release position.
Sec.23.d Carry or have in possession an uncased firearm or bow unless properly licensed
and only during the appropriate hunting season and only while traveling to and
from the hunting area.
Sec.23.e Store firearms and ammunition unless kept in locked cases and/or trigger guards
attached when not in use.
Sec.23.f Discharge a weapon of any kind, including an air rifle, air pistol, pellet gun, sling
shot or crossbow, on Commission property except at times and in locations
authorized by the Commission for such purpose.
Sec.23.g An exception to the above rules, will be made for peace officers.
Anyone else have any dealings with Mecosta County Parks? I would imagine that being a "County Park", that they wouldn't be able to regulate this.
Thank you for your replies,
