Pennsylvania Gun Rights
Share
We don’t accept political excuses or backroom deals that trade away certain freedoms to “gain” others. We don’t consider do-nothing legislation a “victory” for gun-owners. We know a cover vote when we see one. Gun owners’ rights have been slipping away for the last century due to that kind of compromise. The good news is: we have begun turning the tide in the battle! But our work is not done until our rights are fully restored as the founders of the United States and Pennsylvania intended. Gun grabbers in Pennsylvania think they’re sitting pretty. Michael Bloomberg has nearly 200 Pennsylvania mayors in lock-step with his anti-gun agenda –– as proud members of his gun control group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns. But PAGR will stand firm to turn the tide against radical anti-gunners at the state and local level across Pennsylvania. Join today! >>https://penngunrights.org/join/

As her FIRST bill since being elected in a special election, PA State Rep. Andrea Verobish has introduced HB 2599 to remove the requirement for a permit to open carry a firearm in a vehicle.
PAGR is proud to partner with Rep. Verobish to make this bill her first ever bill introduced in the House!
Verobish Introduces Bill Removing Concealed Carry Permit Requirement for Carrying Firearm in Vehicle
HARRISBURG – State Rep. Andrea Verobish (R-Blair) announced today she has introduced legislation to remove the requirement that individuals first obtain a concealed carry permit before being allowed to carry a firearm in their vehicle.
Under current law, individuals who wish to carry a concealed firearm on their person, or transport a loaded firearm in their vehicle, must first obtain a concealed carry permit. While our Commonwealth recognizes the right to openly carry a firearm without a permit, that same right is not recognized once an individual enters a vehicle.
“The right to own and bear arms is a fundamental constitutional right,” Verobish said. “Law-abiding citizens should not be required to obtain government permission before exercising that right while on the road.”
“Rep. Verobish’s first prime-sponsored bill addresses a long-standing infringement on the rights of Pennsylvania gun owners,” Pennsylvania Gun Rights Director Craig Storrs Jr. said. “Under current law, a law-abiding citizen can openly carry a firearm on foot and yet become a criminal simply by entering a vehicle if they don’t have a permit. That makes no sense.
“This legislation restores consistency to Pennsylvania law and takes an important step toward ensuring that constitutional rights do not disappear the moment a citizen gets behind the wheel or in a passenger seat. Pennsylvania Gun Rights is proud to support Rep. Verobish’s bill and applauds her leadership in making the protection of the Second Amendment one of her first legislative priorities.”
House Bill 2599 has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration.
The AP has called that NAGR-PAC endorsed Mitch Micale has lost his race to become the Republican nominee to be the next State Representative from HD-130.
Congratulations to Melissa Brewer, who also returned her PAGR Candidate Survey 100% for a well-fought, hard-won race.
