At the moment, after six years of litigation, Chief Counsel Joshua Prince of the Firearms Business Consulting Group (“FICG), a division of Civil Rights Protection Agency, P.C., secured a serious victory in opposition to the Pennsylvania State Police (“PSP”) in Landmark Firearms, LLC, et al. v. PSP Commissioner Evanchick, 694 MD 2019.
As a lot of our readers will bear in mind, in December of 2019, after then-Lawyer Common Josh Shapiro issued steerage that “partially manufactured frames and receivers” constituted firearms on this Commonwealth and the PSP applied a coverage accordingly, we filed go well with within the Commonwealth Courtroom in opposition to then-PSP Commissioner Evanchick and obtained a preliminary injunction, issued by then-Choose (now-Justice) Kevin Brobson.
After the injunction being in place for nearly six years, the Commonwealth Courtroom directed the events to organize acceptable filings for a last determination to be made by the court docket. As an alternative, acting-PSP Commissioner Bivens agreed to revoke the coverage. Resultantly, the events entered right into a Stipulation, which was accepted by the court docket as we speak.
My favourite a part of litigating this case occurred throughout argument on our request for a preliminary injunction, the place the next trade occurred between the lawyer for the Lawyer Common’s Workplace and then-Choose Brobson.
You might be studying that appropriately; in accordance with then-AG Shapiro and his Workplace, we’re mere peasants which can be to be subjected to the rule of legislation (which he makes up out of entire fabric), not like himself and the ruling class, that are to be protected in any respect value.
It should be famous that none of this could have been attainable with out the help of Firearms Coverage Coalition, which was additionally a Petitioner on this matter.
