Hammond firearm laws...

[Prometheus]

Looked them up today...
link to hammond code:
American Legal Publishing - Online Library

132.073 prohibits carry into public (city owned) buildings
99.28 prohibits carry of firearms or fireworks in parks or "park streets"

and a real curious one:
99.020 limits storage of gun powder to 1 pound or 500 rounds of ammunition

fires are a max of $2,500 for each offense, max offense chargeable is 1 offense per day...

Can anyone tell me if the ammo storage law is void due to state preemption laws? Also I've been trying to hunt down the full preemption law text and can't find it, google search gives backs hundreds of references but one the actual text...
Thanks in advance

I've Been to Hammond, I would carry 500 rounds on me!!

When was the Hammond ordinance passed?

I have a feeling that such a silly law is not enforced and violated continually.

Thats it, thank you!

My question now is about the date of the Hammond ordinance. The page I looked at didn't give a date for that specific one, although I do see 1987 listed for a couple others...

In case anyone is curious as to why I (or anyone else) would care... Walmart and Cabelas are both located in hammond and per that city ordinance, by purchasing a 550 round bulk pack of .22lr you'd be in violation of it (also includes being in a car)... not to mention if you bring a 550 round bulk pack of it to Debs range to go shooting...Stupid, stupid laws!
