Default HB 1845 Emergency Powers and more

Thought everyone might like to have this info. Now it's up to "fast Eddie". Note the state parks provision.

Today, House Bill 1845, an omnibus legislative package passed the State House and State Senate and is on the way to Governor Ed Rendell (D). This legislation contained a number of pro-gun provisions for Pennsylvania gun owners. Among the provisions was an “Emergency Powers” provision prohibiting any government agency from arbitrarily confiscating firearms during a state of emergency, such as occurred in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Other important provisions include:

· Establishing lawful carry of a concealed firearm in state parks

· Funding for the acclaimed “Don’t Lie For The Other Guy” program administered by the National Shooting Sports Foundation

· Emergency permitting system for concealed carry licenses for individuals who are under immediate threat

Everyone,

Sorry for the hasty post. I didn't see that It's already been started, but was too excited to wait.

Again, sorry.
