    Default Can PA become a May issue state?

    I am very thankful PA is a shall issue state,
    is it possible for that to ever be changed??

    I am thinking the state Senate could with enough votes, but I am hoping I am wrong.

    Can it? Yes.

    Will it happen any time soon? Not likely.

    May Issue = You're presumed guilty and have to prove innocence.

    Shall Issue = It's the state's responsibility to prove you're ineligible.

    It is possible, but not probable, at least at this time! What really irks me though is that I have a permit without needing PA's permission, it is called the 2nd Amendment...I should not have to apply for a piece of paper that says I can carry a firearm, when I already have that right. Permits are only a means to raise revenue and to make citizens, slaves.

    I couldn't agree more. You should also be able to tote your firearms across state lines without any kind of "reciprocity" agreement, as 2A applies to all states.

    Why not do a better job of kicking out the people who would vote it May Issue and not have to wonder?

    it might be possible in the near future cuz i am sure the Govt doesnt want every single PAer to have a LTCF, i know the felons cant have one and the violent persons,

    i am good till 2014 then after that i have to wait and see if its a shall issue or an may issue state still.. i hope it stays a shall issue but its possible to change if the gun crimes keep getting worst and worst...but i dont see people with LTCF causing as much trouble as those who dont have a LTCF so i dont think PA will become a may issue state maybe in the next couple years ..IMHO..(knocking on wood) may issue will take forever for the background checks then will the shall issue , and with may issue gives the state more power to turn down licenses.

    My god that was difficult to understand. You construct sentences like a 12 year old.

    Honestly TXD, I skip most of your posts because I got tired of re-reading each one 3 or 4 times trying to decipher them. I am not sure what handicap you have and I don't mean to be disrespectful, but if you can try to help it a little ( like use Microsoft Word for grammar and spell-check before pasting the content here), your thoughts may be better expressed.
