Character and Reputation

[Sgt.K]

Alright, y'all,

In the post-Bruen world, when (formerly) may-issue states are falling back *hard* on good moral character and the like in their permit applications to maintain their infringement on their subjects, where does PA stand with our character and reputation clause and/or where are we headed?

Inquiring minds...

It wouldn't surprise me if PA goes the route of NY and demands to know your social media accounts so they can do a thorough background check on your character and reputation.

Glad I don't have any unless you count PAFOA.

What*s a social media account?

What*s a social media account?

It's that thing you'll need three of to qualify for your LTCF

[oldengineer]

Maybe they'll let you substitute your DD-214, S/S Lifetime Earnings Statement, blank Criminal Record, and other proof of good citizenship instead of social media accounts.

That online thing where you just typed that question.

That online thing where you just typed that question.

I'm not sure if web forums count as 'social media', but it is troubling that I had to use a mainstream email address (Protonmail is not allowed to register here) AND I have to drop my VPN to log in to this site. Everybody seems to want some piece of personally identifiable information to participate.

I was able to register with Protonmail while connected to a VPN and did NOT have to provide any personally identifiable information such as a phone number. Going forward, forums such as these should consider allowing members to be more anonymous because you never know when your online activity can be used against you.

I barely know what a VPN is but I have seen some admin posts here about them and what is necessary to use them. Look under forum announcements and you might find some guidance there.

I used a yahoo address that I had just for spam and other bullshit. I don't remember the password for it and I have no way to log into that email account.

Using a VPN has I type this. Sometimes I have to drop it...or switch servers..I think it depends on the day of the week, phase of the moon, how full my bladder is and other things.
