I was in Hines Park today and noticed there rules for Firearms. Here they are I'm not an expert but does this violate the preemption law.

14) FIREARMS
a) No person shall at ant time, bring into or upon park property or have in their
possession, nor discharge or set off anywhere upon said property, a bow and arrow, spear, revolver, pistol, shotgun, rifle, air rifle, paint ball guns, air gun, or any gun, rifle, firearm or other weapon that discharges projectiles either by air, explosive substance or any other force. Provided however, that this section shall not apply to any duly authorized law enforcement officer while carrying out the duties and responsibilities of his or her position not to any person while upon designated target ranges, nor to any properly licensed hunters, possessing unloaded firearms during bird hunting season within the launching ramp area of the Elizabeth Park Marina, located in City of Trenton, nor any person carrying a concealed pistol for which the person has a valid license obtained in accordance with law, provided further, however, that any such weapon shall not be carried in a place or manner inconsistent with any restrictions upon such license.

Yep, you DO NOT NEED A CPL TO OC!! Therefore, the section concerning firearms is null and void; they could however IMHO, enforce the ordinance in relation to the other items listed.

edit: spelling
