We, PAFOA members, are probably more knowledgeable than most township supervisors and borough councilmembers when it comes to firearms. And, our police chiefs? They only view the issue from one of people control.
We must all remain vigilant, research our local ordinances, and point out the errors in law at township/borough meetings. Remember, we have the power.

This is 100% accurate. That is why, as I suggested earlier, we MUST be active in our local/municipal governments. This is the level where we have the most power as citizens.
I am sure there are enough legal-eagles here that could advise anyone with an archaic local ordinance, how best to proceed to effect a change towards freedom.
Don't sit on your duff on township meeting night to see who wins Survivor. I am on the Zoning Board in my municipality and I can tell you almost no-one shows up, unless they have an appeal before us. SWame goes for the Supervisor's meeting and the Planning Commission. It only takes a small handfull of people to get things done at this level.
