Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

New Court Opinion WILL affect Concealed Carry in Vehicles!!!!

A PA Supreme Court decision by Supreme Court Justice Seamus McCaffery on April 29th, 2014 states in part that a VEHICLE MAY BE SEARCHED and a Warrant is not needed.

If the police stop your vehicle for any reason it gives them probably cause to search your vehicle without your permission.

As you can see this causes problems with your Concealed Carry permit as it is currently written there is no legal basis that you must inform a officer that you are armed. If your vehicle is searched now, they can produce your gun without your permission.

Where does this leave us, the law abiding citizens of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?
