The post states officers will not arrest people who have a concealed carry pistol permit and a licensed handgun in the village park or playground.
The post says quote: "police cannot be everywhere and your right to protect your family and others is our priority."
The new state law prohibits carrying a concealed weapon on public transportation and in most other public places like schools and government buildings but Bath police say they will confer with the district attorney before making arrests.
