Pa legislation to halt inquiries re LTCF validation from non-reciprocal states
In June, House State Government Committee
Chairman Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) convened
a voting meeting to consider legislation that
would protect the Constitutional right of
Pennsylvania residents to keep and bear arms,
as well as another measure that would prevent
illegal aliens from applying for and receiving
welfare benefits.
House Bill 1287, sponsored by Chairman
Metcalfe, would prohibit law enforcement in
states that do not have a reciprocity agreement
with the Commonwealth, from accessing
Pennsylvania’s Firearms License Validation
System.
Pennsylvania maintains what is known
as the Firearms License Validation System,
which allows law enforcement officials from
Pennsylvania and other states to access the
system to verify the validity of Pennsylvaniaissued
licenses to carry firearms.
A common practice among states is
to establish what are called reciprocity
agreements. These agreements allow for the
mutual recognition of each state’s licenses
to carry firearms. Pennsylvania currently has
reciprocity agreements with 18 states.
The specific purpose of this legislation is to
prevent states that do not have reciprocity
agreements with Pennsylvania from abusing
their authority when it comes to using
House State Government Committee Advances Solutions to Shutdown
Illegal Immigration and Gun Control
information on out-of-state concealed
carry permit holders during traffic stops.
This legislation would protect law-abiding
Pennsylvania citizens who have a Pennsylvania
License to Carry Firearms from being harassed
or detained while traveling through other
states.
Democrats attempted to stop the
advancement of the bill, but House Bill
1287 advanced with Republicans voting
unanimously for Chairman Metcalfe’s
legislation.

Sounds good to me. Especially from what we've heard coming out of Maryland.

And if Maryland is doing it... gotta figure NJ & CA are doing it... but this legislation assumes they haven't already loaded their databases in other ways.

Re: Pa legislation to halt inquiries re LTCF validation from non-reciprocal states
But...I have a question. If a state does not honor my LTCF, what reason would they have to check on whether it is valid in my state? They cannot apply another state's law if it is invalid in that state, and finding it invalid in the issuing state would not affect the violation.So, I don't see what it is accomplishing with respect to the possession of the gun in the state that does not honor our LTCF.

Re: Pa legislation to halt inquiries re LTCF validation from non-reciprocal states
That's great. Now how about eliminating the license requirement entirely. No license, no need to have a system that keeps track of them, no need to worry about "authorities" outside PA from a using such a system.
No need to worry about "authorities" inside PA abusing it either.
