Pennsylvania Supreme Court Crushes Local Gun Control Laws​

By Jeff Charles | 3:39 PM on November 21, 2024

Score another victory for gun rights! The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled against a legal challenge against the state’s firearm preemption laws that prohibit local governments from further infringing on the right to keep and bear arms.

Currently, Pennsylvania’s preemption laws prohibit local governments from passing gun control measures that go further than firearms restrictions passed at the state level. The ruling means that there will be uniformity when it comes to gun control laws, which means it is less likely that an individual might find themselves in legal jeopardy due to confusion about local restrictions on firearms.

The ruling comes after an appeals court dismissed the original challenge against the law. “The General Assembly’s authority over municipalities is supreme…municipalities may do only those things which the legislature has expressly or by necessary implication permitted,” Justice Kevin Brobson wrote in his opinion.

The court argued that the state constitution “does not provide that the right to bear arms shall not be questioned in some parts of the Commonwealth but abridged at will in others” and that “Regulation of firearms is a matter of statewide concern.”

when I was an active duty, the first time, we were using Beretta M9. When I joined a reserve unit, they were still using M1911s.

It was a slightly different pistol, and the handguns we were issued for qualifying were so fucking old that you could literally rattle them and hear parts inside!

got some good use out of them tho.

But back to M9s when I went back in for the second time. I would definitely like to get an old school, or even a newer .45.

I am a fan of the 1911. I have several others that I also like. The Sig 226 is a damned fine gun, and I have one so old (how old is it?) that it tells me it was made in W. Germany on the slide, and it rattles, but it is as dependable as the day is long. I think that my new handgun will (likely) be a 1911 in 10mm. Single stack - I have a double stack and it's a pain to get decent accessories to carry it. The single is the same as a single stack .45ACP. All the stuff I have already works.

Yeah. Maybe a Christmas gift to myself!
