Because of the furniture store explosion, the mayor has declared a state of emergency in the city of Wayne. Upon a quick search of their city ordinances, they have banned firearm possession or carry during this time!!
(a) Power to Proclaim Emergency. The Mayor, or in his or her absence, the Mayor Pro-Tempore, is hereby authorized to proclaim a state of emergency in the City whenever he or she is advised by the Deputy Director, Department of Public Safety-Police Division, that a civil disturbance, riot or civil commotion is in progress, and that there is present within the City limits or in immediate proximity thereto, large groups of persons engaged in rioting, looting and the destruction of property, or threatening physical violence in defiance of the ordinances of the City or statutes of the State, and that the presence of such groups of persons is likely to require extraordinary measures to quell, subdue or control the same, including an appeal to the civil authority of the surrounding communities for additional police personnel to meet such conditions. Having received such report from the Deputy Director, the Mayor, or in his or her absence, the Mayor Pro-Tempore, is hereby authorized to proclaim the existence of an emergency.
(b) Issuance of Emergency Orders. Upon the proclamation of the existence of such emergency, the Mayor is hereby granted emergency powers to declare, issue and decree emergency orders, and may also issue orders incidental to the emergency, placing into effect any of the following restrictions, prohibitions and affirmative commands, as conservator of the peace of the City, and such restrictions shall thereafter be in full force and effect for the duration of the emergency so determined and proclaimed:
(1) He or she may order that no person, except a duly authorized law enforcement officer, shall possess or have on his or her person or carry any firearms, ammunition, explosives, inflammable materials or liquids, or other dangerous weapons, including, but not limited to, chains, clubs or missiles, within the boundaries of the City.
