97.62 HUNTING, FIREWORKS, AND FIREARMS PROHIBITED
"No person shall be allowed to carry firearms; to molest, hunt, harm, frighten, kill, trap, pursue, chase, tease, shoot or throw objects at or to set snares for any wildlife, animals, birds, reptiles and fish within the limits of any park or within five hundred feet thereof except with written permission of the Department. Fireworks, firearms, "BB" guns, slingshots, pea shooters, blow guns and paint ball guns are prohibited in all park areas unless permission has been obtained from the Department. No person is permitted to practice archery or use a bow and arrow or crossbow or other similar device in any park."
-From Ordinance Language
It looks pretty clear that this prohibits firearms from Fort Wayne's parks. What is the penalty for an infraction of this ordinance? I'd like to go watch my church's softball game tonight at Kreager Park...but I'm holding fast to my boycott of places where I can get "in trouble" for exercising my inalienable rights...
Any insight would be appreciated!
PS: I tried to search via Google (fort wayne park site:ingunowners.com) & didn't find any insight.
