I would assume preemption would apply here, but I just wanted to see if there was some caveat this person was missing.
So I'm finally trying to get some exercise again and since my home backs up to the Bear Creek Trail I went out for a few miles. I come across one of the "trail boards" with the map and rules of the open space and there is an 8.5x11 piece of paper taped to the board with the following message.
"Open Carrying of firearms is prohibited. Ordinance 9.32.050"
A. The open carrying or wearing of a firearm within or upon the grounds of any community center, recreational facility, the Lakewood Civic Center, City park, City trail, or City open space including any City owned, operated, or leased building or property is unlawful when said City building or City property is posted with a sign at the entrance to any City building or City property informing persons that the open carrying of a firearm is prohibited in such building or area.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this come up before but is simply taping a sign to board suffient to fulfill the law? There are trails into the open space everywhere, so how can you post a sign at the "entrance"?
