I am in Belmont but usually CC there. Looks like the City Manager and police chief are learning about having to allow firearms.

ROCKFORD -- Only a small change is needed to get ordinances regarding guns in parks to comply with state law, said City Manager Michael Young. After a Plainfield Township resident told the City Council that Rockford's ordinances illegally forbid guns in parks, Young said he will introduce an amendment "to make it clear that no person shall possess or discharge firearms within the city of Rockford and our park system except as expressly permitted by sections of other state/federal laws."
He said the ordinances are well written but do not recognize that in some circumstances those with concealed-carry weapon permits are allowed to possess firearms in parks.
He worked with Police Chief David Jones on the amendment.
