Pottstown banning discharge

[exceltoexcel]

Pottstown is trying to pass a law banning discharge within its limits...

More to follow

My mistake, it's Upper Pottsgove Township...

[Steve in PA]

Nothing wrong or illegal about that.

The borough where I work has that in their ordinance. No discharge of a weapon unless its in self defense.

Discharging a weapon for hunting purposes is not affected.

Yeah well Pottstown has been in the shitter for years. Look at their BRIGHT idea to transform High street into a 2 lane road with diagonal parking! With brains like that in the local government, we have nothing to fear!

They are definitely not candidates for the mens rea society....

There's an argument that it is illegal to not allow one to practice use of a gun as barring an individual from practically owning a handgun, but that's a whole nother ball of wax

I'm not fighting it on grounds that it would be an illegal law

I'm just going to protest it because I don't see how it's going to do anyone any good!

If I go out and shoot my gun in the air I'm going to jail and there isn't a discharge law in limerick..

If you're interested in letting the counsel know that we don't want this type of law on the books show up!

I don't need them to close every target range in PA as a response to not being able to get anti-gun laws passed so I'm going to the meeting to fight it.

In NY every gun range in Rochester and surrounding areas are now closed because of Monroe counties' discharge law. Do you want to see that?

When is the meeting?

[Steve in PA]

There is no legal standing that allows the person to be able to discharge a weapon.

Your "right to keep & bear arms" is covered, as well all know. But there is no "right to discharge" said firearm.

I have no idea why the ranges in NY were closed, they should have been exempt.

Yeah I hate to agree here but I don't want my neighbors shooting next to my house. Even if they are carefull the area is not setup for it.

Those opposed do you want people shooting all around you?

That is what I like reading here on PAFOA, people are getting involved, they are making their voices heard, they are making a differance, they are doing something to stop all of this anti-gun activity. My hats off to you exceltoexcel and to others that do something.......
