You guys asking questions who it applies to.
It applies to NO ONE. If the someone fails to report it, and they charge you, IT'S AN ILLEGAL LAW, fight it and you'll win!
In the process you could sue the city, and win because the state says NO local govt can create any gun laws at all!
Hence why ALOT of people carry to longs park still.
They cannot enforce this law legally for anyone, either in the city or whatever else.
The current STATE law says this:
QUOTE § 6120. Limitation on the regulation of firearms and ammunition.
(a) General rule.--No county, municipality or township may in any manner regulate the lawful ownership, possession, transfer or transportation of firearms, ammunition or ammunition components when carried or transported for purposes not prohibited by the laws of this Commonwealth.
so.........
I am on your side, but I think Mayor Gray and his supporters will claim that reporting requirements do not have an impact on the ownership, possession, transfer, transportation of firearms and ammunition. Playing the devils advocate, you tell me how the reporting requirements affect the ownership, possession, transfer and transportation of handguns.
That is why I believe we also need to attack them on the jurisdictional issue. Specifically, you can not require reporting of an event that happened outside your narrow jurisdiction of the City of Lancaster.
