Legal paperwork filed. Wouldn*t this fall under preemption?

This is not a preemption case. It is really about Philadelphia delaying the constitutional and statutory rights of the plaintiffs. Dittos for other counties experiencing delays.

Given the extra steps required to even apply/issue a permit (fingerprinting/interview with detective), that would fall under preemption Though, correct? Would that be the next step in this fight, to file a lawsuit for that?

I get what it’s about at the heart of the matter...they shouldn’t be pushing it out to Jan 2022 for appointments. Many others around that area (Montco/Chester/Delaware co) are doing the same thing I’ve heard. Berks, I had mine in a week after mailing in the money order and application for renewal. Kudos to sheriff weaknecht and his staff on that

Time to send some more of that money to the GOA that i have not been giving to the NRA

Your contributions are greatly appreciated.

Same here. I am surprised amazon let that one through

Thanks. This is technically Gun Owners Foundation, our 501c3 but it is part of the GOA family.

Well I'm glad they did and that it was pointed out on this thread. Just changed mine as well.

Thank you.

That's a very good question you raise about preemption. I would have to discuss that with our attorney.

If Philly is really pushed back to Jan 2022, my LTCF expires Feb '22 i believe, i'd be willing to be a plaintiff if needed. Let m know the details and i'll see if i can help.

Keep up the good work GOA! Now do this again with Allegheny county.

Did Ben Franklin have to apply for a LTCF? Hell no! Constitutional Carry for Pennsylvania NOW!

They neuter the police and then blame law abiding gun owners when crime increases...

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- City officials said they want to take action to stem the tide of gun violence in Philadelphia.

Mayor Jim Kenney and Philadelphia City Council are expected to announce a lawsuit Wednesday to allow lawmakers to enact stricter gun laws within city limits.
