Judge Stickman Vacates Portions of Injunction Against the PSP Without Opportunity For Plaintiffs To Respond
Posted on April 26, 2024 by Joshua Prince, Esq.

As our viewers know, on Wednesday, Judge Stickman issued a monumental injunction against the Pennsylvania State Police (*PSP*), which, among other things, enjoined the PSP from prohibiting 18 to 20 year olds from obtaining a license to carry and permitting them to carry a concealed firearm in the absence of a license to carry firearms. Today, the PSP filed an emergency motion to alter/amend the injunction, which the Court granted within almost an hour of filing, without opportunity for Plaintiffs to respond, violative of Plaintiffs* due process rights.

The new Order only precludes the PSP from arresting 18 to 20 year olds, who openly carry a firearm during a state of emergency; thereby, dissolving the injunction as it relates to prohibiting 18 to 20 year olds from obtaining licenses to carry firearms and permitting them to carry a concealed firearm on their person or in their vehicle in the absence of a license.

The Plaintiffs are currently considering their options, including appeals or whether to bring a new federal court action.
