PA is about as gun-friendly as you get in the Northeast.
Well, Vermont has Constitutional Carry, but otherwise they are a bunch of socialist loons.
Shall issue CCW (15 days and $45)
Class III is easy.
Assault weapons? Buy as many as you want.
Castle doctrine. Stand your ground. Shoot a thug and the DA will shake your hand.
When Philly tries to "pass sensible gun control" they are struck down in a heart beat (after paying a fine)
Pennsylvania isn't as bad for gun rights as New York (short of California, what is?), but it's not as if they're moving into a gun-friendly state. There are states that are a lot better for gun companies than PA.
Are you kidding me?
Section 21 . Right to Bear Arms
The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.
Open carry is allowed.....even TX was not OC until recently (no bans drinking in bars etc)
No classes for CCW
Class 3 weapons allowed (machine guns etc)
CCW is shall issue
Almost 1M CCW citizens.
The largest gun store in the world (Cabela’s in Hamburg PA).
Sounds like you have not a clue what you are talking about.
Where do you get your information? Pennsylvania is the militia capital of the world. Nobody messes with the Second Amendment here. Plus, it’s one of the easiest states to get a concealed carry permit (I think only Vermont is easier - - no permit is even needed there).
Just go to the sheriff’s office at the courthouse with $15 and proof of residency in your county and voila!, you walk out in 15 minutes with a CC permit in your wallet, good for 5 years. You don’t have to take any courses or have a hunting license or express any reason for wanting a CC permit - - you don’t even have to own a gun.
So yeah, compared not only to New York but to most states Pennsylvania is a very good relocation destination for this firearms company.
illinois sucks, so does new jersey and maryland ain’t far behind.
Beg to differ; PA is a good gun-friendly state.
Open carry, CCW, few restrictions. An army of hunters and gunnies.
We’re a thumb in the eye of the anti’s in the Northeast.
Are there some better? Sure. But at least there’s somewhere for Jersey, Maryland, and NY folks to run to.
Welcome to Free Republic, by the way.
Maybe they had limited funds for transporting all their stuff, but had to get away from NY immediately.
Considering Vermont’s laws pertaining to firearms, despite how many liberals live there, I thought they would be the best state to move to in the north east.
