Thank You For Your Hard Work! On Tuesday, April 1, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives defeated an amendment to House Bill 1845, by anti-gun State Representative David Levdansky (D-39) that would have required gun owners to report the loss or theft of a firearm to law enforcement or face criminal prosecution. By a vote of 128 to 75, the amendment was voted down!
The House overwhelmingly passed two NRA-supported amendments to HB1845, which further protect the rights of Pennsylvania’s gun-owners. One amendment, which passed 197 to 5, sponsored by Representative Edward Staback (D-115), would eliminate the prohibition of concealed carry permit holders right to carry in State Parks. Another amendment, which passed unanimously, introduced by Representative Russell Fairchild (R-85), would prohibit any government agency from confiscating or regulating the lawful sale, possession, transfer, transport and carry of firearms during a state of emergency, such as occurred in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Thank you to everyone who called his or her State Representative voicing strong opposition to State Representative Levdansky’s amendment. Please keep checking www.NRAILA.org and your email for further updates. |
