no they want your car..

[sgt7546]

This law mirrors the sections of the Federal Assets/Forfeiture statues. What it does provide is a way for the state to seize tangible property from those violating the Violations of Uniform Firearm Act section, specifically section 6106, Firearms not to be Carried without a License. The law does not apply to ANY law abiding citizen. In short, if you have a license to carry you are not violating this law. If you are going to/from a range, a gun shop, or any of the laundry list of exceptions listed in this law, and your weapon is unloaded with the ammunition being stored separately, you are not violating this law.

[RoyJackson]

This is what I wrote to Andrew Washington, first sponsor of this bill:

In order to further this bill, you need to clarify lawful carry of firearms.

This is to ensure persons carrying to a range or for self protection are not harassed by law enforcement personnel. You should add the notation “This does not apply to Lawful Owner(s) of the firearm carrying concealed (with a permit) or open carry (legal, no permit required per PA Supreme Court decision) or transporting to a firing range or hunting”.

That should cover it…however, I suggest you also add that law enforcement personnel must be trained or instructed on the lawful carrying of firearms (as a condition of employment) before this bill is allowed to proceed.

With those changes and additions, this bill may move forward. Otherwise, it has no chance.

I also suggest you research current law to ensure this law is not redundant, therefore a burden to the taxpayers of Pennsylvania. I expect you’ll find such laws an withdraw SB 1217.

[icp4life162005]

So they are trying to do away with OC without a LTCF?

[sgh]

If I read correctly (IANAL), then if I have a passenger who is carrying illegally my car is subject to seizure. To get my car returned the burden of proof is on me to prove that the illegal act was done without my knowledge.

It appears that way.

[WhiteFeather]

Highlighted the section where so many hunters and target shooter WITHOUT a LTCF break the law.

There is NO exemption in law for transporting firearms for stopping any where IF you do, you break the law even if its only to eat dinner, or even to stop and get gas.

Think that statement is extreme contact Kim Stolfer he will give you specific examples of people being prosecuted for exactly this violation of the law, Kim will provide you more than the shorten version I give here as examples.

one guy bought a new hand gun from FFL dealer stopped at sister house to show it to here and got stopped for traffic stop and admitted he stopped at sister home - Not allowed to own firearms now.

other guy stopped coming back from hunting and had firearms in truck and got the same thing - Not allowed to own firearms now.

Read the section again their is no exception in law for stopping anywhere in transportation, crazy I know but you could lose your rights for this stupid omission in the law if you are caught and prosecuted for transporting firearms without a LTCF. It a very real problem in curent law, I warn people about this all the time and yet they do what ever they want, most do not have the money to defend themselves in court yet think it won't happen to them.
