Which ordinance?

Which ordinance?

I have not seen it, but there is supposedly an ordinance prohibiting open carry of long arms and,
perhaps, one dealing with a round in the chamber. Unfortunately, I do not know the number of the ordinance.

I seem to remember looking it up here, under Offenses/Misc Provisions-ARTICLE VI. REGULATION OF FIREARMS AND WEAPONS

But I don't see it mentioned there right now. ????

I've seen it mentioning no round in the chamber but not no open rifle carry in general

Thanks for the link.

Here is a section dealing with a wide variety of places where carry is prohibited.

This one (Sec. 21-16) deals with carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun.

(The Section following this one is the infamous locking back knife provision.)

These provisions are plainly in violation of Art. 1, Sec. 23 which reserves the right to regulate these matters to the Legislature. "...but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime."
