And you think under martial law this law would be obeyed?

Pennsylvania already has such a law. It was part of HB 1845, along with concealed carry in a state park and emergency licenses to carry, that passed back at the end of 2008. HB 1845 amended 18 Pa.C.S. § 6107 to read as follows:

18 Pa.C.S. § 6107

Title 18 Pa.C.S. Crimes and Offenses

Part II. Definition of Specific Offenses

Article G. Miscellaneous Offenses

Chapter 61. Firearms and Other Dangerous Articles

Subchapter A. Uniform Firearms Act

§ 6107. Prohibited conduct during emergency

(a) General rule.--No person shall carry a firearm upon the public streets or upon any public property during an emergency proclaimed by a State or municipal governmental executive unless that person is:

(1) Actively engaged in a defense of that person's life or property from peril or threat.

(2) Licensed to carry firearms under section 6109 (relating to licenses) or is exempt from licensing under section 6106(b) (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license).

(b) Seizure, taking and confiscation.--Except as otherwise provided under subsection (a) and notwithstanding the provisions of 35 Pa.C.S. Ch. 73 (relating to Commonwealth services) or any other provision of law to the contrary, no firearm, accessory or ammunition may be seized, taken or confiscated during an emergency unless the seizure, taking or confiscation would be authorized absent the emergency.

(c) Definitions.--As used in this section, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings given to them in this subsection:

“Accessory.” Any scope, sight, bipod, sling, light, magazine, clip or other related item that is attached to or necessary for the operation of a firearm.

“Firearm.” The term includes any weapon that is designed to or may readily be converted to expel any projectile by the action of an explosive or the frame or receiver of any weapon.

Federal protection is also offered by the Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006.

Addendum: I forgot to mention that I am aware that the PAFOA reference library does not currently show the entirety of § 6107. The updated version that I present can be verified at the Unofficial Purdon's Pennsylvania Statutes from West web site.

Every law ever created will ever have more power then the NCO/Officer who gets the marshal law type order he knows to be unconstitutional, or an abuse of power.

Once that happens, it's all up to them..
