Re: SB 1228
This is just another one of many bills which makes an attempt to do an end-around on the UFA's preemption clause. Again, as with many of the other anti-gun bills like this, it's doubtful that this will ever get any traction.

Re: SB 1228
i would say living in a city with philly's crime rate is, in and of itself, "proper reason for carrying a firearm", so i'm not sure what they think they would accomplish by getting this passed

Yes, I would be laughing if it was not scary, sad, and absurdly capable of happening if we are not always on guard.
