I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Rep. Krieger is an RKBA supporter. I even think I remember him speaking at a TEA Party rally a couple years back. I came across this and I'll post it here, as I think it may give my assertion some credibility.

Rep. Krieger is very much on our side on these issues.

I knew this was coming, just didn't know when.

Good, it would a fine thing to see more pro-gun legislation offered.

Should one of our readers happen across the text of this bill before I do please be kind enough to post it.

This is weird that this is coming from him. Here is his stance on gun control.

Seriously?!? Read the thread, this isn't a gun-control bill. This is a re-introduction of a pro-gun bill from last year; this one: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/...type=B&BN=0750

Actually HB 1668 is the upgrade to HB 1538 to address some concerns the other side may have had to oppose this bills final passage, we all been waiting on this getting filed.

All 96 sponsors as of June 15 signed on to upgrade with HB 1668 and any effort to move HB 1538 is at a end.

read about this effort here and what you could do to re write the stupid law that you can't stop anywhere outside the few places listed in existing law if you have a Un loaded firearm in your car unless you have a LTCF permit.

For those interested, the text is now available for this bill.

The link I provided in post #1 will take you right to it.

Please be advised there is much more to be deleted from the applicable sections than added so read carefully and remember [square brackets] indicate text to be deleted and underlined text is to be added

Sanity check please!

It seems to me that this version of the bill eliminates any posibility to carry on LTCF equivalent from a state that does not recognize PA LTCFs. It removes the ability of the Attorney General to grant unilateral acceptance of another state's permit. While at the moment, there are no states that fit that category, why should this be eliminated?

Despite the "We won't recognize yours unless you recognize ours" crap, shouldn't we (PA) recognize any license/permit that meets our standards?Ok, misunderstanding on my part.
