    House Committee Schedules Statewide Hearings on “Gun Violence” in Pennsylvania! Friday, March 16, 2007

    The House Judiciary Committee, Chaired by Tom Caltagirone (Berks -D) has scheduled statewide hearings on gun-related crime. This is an opportunity for Pennsylvania’s law-abiding gun owners to express their concerns regarding the many recent anti-gun proposals introduced in the House of Representatives, that include "one-gun-a-month" schemes and semi-automatic firearm bans. It is critical that law-abiding gun owners attend these hearings. If you are unable to attend, please call your State Representative and urge him or her to stand-up for your Right to Keep and Bear Arms. The following is a preliminary list of cities and dates.

    Just got this from SAS. pa-sas@yahoogroups.com
    Pay attention to what i Highlited in red. Dan you are getting some press here
    Fellow defenders of the Second Amendment:

    The Allegheny County Sportsmens League is organizing a Pro-Gun rally
    at the State Capitol on Tuesday, April 24th - 9:00am to 11:00am.

    Shamelessly taken from their website (www.acslpa.org), here's the text
    of the announcement. Please help spread the word at your local gun
    shops, gun clubs and other shooting ranges. We need to have as many
    law-abiding gun owners there to show Harrisburg that we're tired of
    the "feel-good" do-nothing legislation that paints us in the same
    brush as the common criminal.

    From the acslpa.org website:

    Pro-Gun News Conference to be Held In Harrisburg—April 24th

    We all knew the challenges we would face after last year's election
    and our darkest fears are being realized. The only way to defeat this
    is to join together once again and show those who would take our
    freedoms that we will not yield.

    We will join together for an early preemptive strike on our issues by
    having a lobbying and education day, focusing on freshmen legislators,
    and connect that with launching our pro-gun agenda, as we did last
    year. Members of the Pennsylvania grassroots and gun owner's
    coalition, which has been so successful for us on other issues, met
    with Representative Daryl Metcalfe in early December to devise a
    strategy for the upcoming session so that we would be prepared to deal
    with these issues. The date we have agreed upon is April 24th and we
    will combine our meeting and lobbying with another Pro-Gun Press
    conference to introduce our pro-gun/pro-sportsmen agenda of
    legislation. We can also use this opportunity to excoriate the
    anti-gun forces, legislators and issues.

    The pro-gun/pro-sportsmen legislation introduced last session (minus
    HB 2563, 2134 & 1717 which passed) is listed below along with previous
    sponsors.

    SB 1156 – End Gun Registration (Pippy)
    HB 2946 – Emergency CCW License for Domestic Violence Victims (Metcalfe)
    HB 2789 – Hunting Rights & Due Process (Petrarca)
    HB 2536 – End Gun Registration (Metcalfe)
    HB 2231 – Castle Doctrine (Cappelli)
    HB 1181 – PA Employees & CCW (Forcier)
    HB 544 – Election Code Changes (Stevenson)
    There are four additional legislative concepts that we are considering
    for inclusion to the list above:

    Turnover of PA Instant Check Responsibilities to the National Instant
    Check System Legislation that would protect gun owners and prohibit
    seizure of firearms during a crisis or emergency like what happened in
    New Orleans.

    Alaska style (two-tiered) Concealed Carry of Firearms System.

    Eliminate redundant background checks for firearms purchased by
    individuals licensed to carry a firearm.

    If there are any additional thoughts on legislation we welcome your
    thoughts.

    We are deeply concerned, borne out by recent events, that with control
    shifting in the House that the anti-gun forces would perceive this
    session as their best opportunity to pass legislation which was
    soundly rejected during the committee of the whole last year. Rep.
    Dwight Evans and his anti-gun coalition are proving our concerns to be
    well founded.

    **************************

    There are other groups that are trying to get more gun owners to head
    to the Capitol on the 24th. Please join us there!

    Also, consider joining the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association -
    www.pafoa.org . All things for firearms in Pennsylvania -
    discussions, legal issues / legislative issues, group meets and other
    information. Stop by www.pafoa.org for a look around and join the
    debate about our Section 21 and Second Amendment Rights in Pennsylvania.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this - sorry it was so long.

    Hope to see many, many of you at Harrisburg on the 24th!

    Default Location of gun-control meeting in Pittsburgh

    Anyone know where exactly this is being held? Carnegie Mellon has a fairly large campus with many buildings, and the street address given at
    http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/CO/HM/COHM.HTM
    isn't even on the campus.

    Ah, I seem to have found the answer to my question. According to another post on this forum, the real location is CMU's newly built Collaborative Information Center at 4720 Forbes Avenue.
