This seems to be the most glaring omission in Pennsylvania's generally pro-gun legal landscape.

Other progress I'd like to see:
-Stiff criminal penalties for violation of preemption (i.e. Nutter goes to jail for passing illegal gun laws)
-Legalization of carrying loaded long guns in vehicles, either with or without a LTCF
-Legalization of private handgun sales, thus rendering the illegal PSP database useless. Due to case law, it would be difficult to outright eliminate the PSP database.
-Removal of the "character" clause from the criteria for granting a LTCF... right now, that clause is being abused to make Pennsylvania a "may issue" issue state rather than the "shall issue" state that the UFA intends
-Removal of the licensing requirement for open carry in Philadelphia


At the very bottom of the list are "stand your ground" and "castle doctrine" laws. I'd rather have more freedom to carry guns in order to protect my life and the lives of loved ones, than to be able to shoot someone for stealing a lawn gnome or running away with a case of beer.

intersesting...some good choices you bring up i like them..but i personaly dont think stand your ground laws are all about shooting a person who is stealing a case of beer.
