    If the District Attorney says "Get 'em!", then the police (county, state) can do something. On their own they can't initiate any action.

    Doesn't make much sense. Police arrest people everyday when they witness them breaking a law of the commonwealth. Why can't they take action in this case without DA/AG approval? Oh, I know why, that question is more rhetorical.

    Well not according to the PA Attorney General, as his office has responded to my email stating the Office of the Attorney General does not have a role in this process. The "executive office" has determined this is a local matter and should be discussed with local officials. Ok, so using that logic, if you were fortunate enough to live in a county, or township that passed an ordnance granting CCW with no LTCF requirement all is well right? Seems to work in Pittsburgh, or do you then think the PA AG would hope off the fence and enforce the state requirements? Anyone else care to see if they get a different response for the PA AG's office?

    Same answer I got from the AG's office back around 2000 when I questioned them on preemption.

    Is there such a thing as citizen's arrest?

    Since the proposed Pittsburgh laws would apply to all members of the Commonwealth when traveling to or through Pittsburgh it seems a court challenge is in order. Hopefully, an "organization" with legal council on the payroll would present a challenge on behalf of ALL the citizens of the Commonwealth.

    The minute the mayor signs it, it seems to me the thing to do would be to file a private criminal complaint (preemption violation, conspiracy & official oppression) against the mayor and all the council members that voted "Yea" on the ordinance. One copy to the District Magistrate Judge and one copy to the local media.

    Keep suing at every opportunity. That is how the ACLU and their minions do it. They use special Xmas display systems so that the moment a creche, lords prayer plaque, pledge of allegiance plaque is discovered, they launch a lawsuit.

    When yinzburghers can't get snow plowed or potholes patched because the cshitty is spending tax dollars in court, then the cshitty will understand.

    Speaking of the District Attorney.

    DA Zappala believes proposed Pittsburgh gun legislation would be found unconstitutional

    Doesn't matter if it's unconstitutional, isn't it also a criminal offense? Is he prepared to file criminal charges against the mayor and the council members that vote for it?
