One week ago, a new Pennsylvania law brought local gun regulations in line with the state’s firearm preemption rules by allowing residents to sue their municipalities for local “ordinances that regulated the ownership, possession, transfer or transportation of guns or ammunition.”
The law allows organizations like the NRA to sue on behalf of group members who are Pennsylvania residents.
According to ABC News, attorney Joshua Prince has already put “nearly 100 municipalities on notice” that suits are coming their way if they do not repeal their strict gun control regulations. In response, 22 municipalities have repealed their gun control regulations or signaled their intention to do so.
The law, Act 192, was signed by former Gov. Tom Corbett (R) on October 28. It does not require gun owners “to prove they have been harmed by the local measures” before challenging them, but in the event that they have been harmed, it allows them to “seek damages.”

When is relief coming for md...i am still seeking to relocate from this nazi nanny state
It's time for MD to get in the 21st century. Hogan should at least try to repeal some of the idiotic gun laws that we have. There is NO reason why we should not be able to carry concealed. This is something Hogan could do without costing MD any money and possible saving MD money due to lower crime.
I can't agree more with you 10:14. I have no problem with the cost of the "CCW tax stamp," but needing to prove why I should have a right guaranteed to me is total bull. The proof is in crime data and no more is required in my opinion.
