Pennsylvania: Lower Chichester Township Tables Anti-Gun Ordinance!
 
Friday, April 25, 2008
 

Please Keep Checking http://www.nraila.org/ for Further Updates!

This week, the Board of Commissioners of the Lower Chichester Township decided to table a proposed anti-gun ordinance.  This ordinance would have required a buyer, seller, owner, tenant, or applicant to disclose whether there are or presumably will be any firearms, handguns, rifles, shotguns, ammunition, and gunpowder present prior to the sale or lease of any property.  All parties involved (applicant, seller, buyer, owner and/or tenant) would be required to send law enforcement a copy of the “application” detailing the type and number of firearms, and the type and amount of any ammunition or gunpowder. Any violation of the ordinance would be subject to a penalty.  This ordinance is in direct violation of Pennsylvania’s state preemption law. 

Thank you to all of the NRA members who contacted their commissioner and/or attended the meeting in opposition to this ordinance. Please continue to check http://www.nraila.org/ for further updates on this issue.
