Immediately, Chief Counsel Joshua Prince of the Firearms Business Consulting Group, was profitable in securing a monumental everlasting injunction towards the Pennsylvania State Police in Lara, et al. v. PSP Commissioner, 2:20-cv-1582. The injunction precludes the Pennsylvania State Police from (1) arresting people between the age of 18 and 21 who overtly carry firearms throughout a state of emergency; (2) denying candidates for a license to hold firearms merely as a result of they’re between the ages of 18 and 21; and, (3) from imposing our draconian transportation legal guidelines (Part 6106) and state of emergency provision (Part 6107) towards people between the ages of 18 and 21; which, because the Order specifies; thereby, permits them to “carry[] loaded, operable firearms, together with handguns, on their individual, in public and of their autos, for all functions together with self-defense.”
So what does this imply? Until and till the everlasting injunction is stayed or overturned, 18 to twenty yr olds have extra rights and protections in Pennsylvania than these of us 21 and older. Particularly, an 18 to 21 yr previous can now carry a loaded firearm on their individual or in a automobile, with out being required to acquire a license to hold firearms! In fact, as this might change shortly, it could be sensible for any individual between 18 and 20 years of age to use for and acquire his/her license to hold.
Please be a part of us in congratulating Josh on this monumental victory!
