Gun Owners of America tells me that you have not scheduled HB 1747 and HB 2440 for a vote yet in the full Senate. Why? With only four legislative days left in the session, both of these important bills are in danger of dying on the calendar -- and that's not acceptable! HB 1747 eliminates the Governor's ability to "suspend or limit the sale, dispensing or transportation...of firearms" during a state of emergency. We only need to look at the recent violence, rioting, and looting to know that citizens need to be armed to ensure their personal and family's safety. HB 1747 also removes the requirement to have a License to Carry Firearms (LTCF) in order to carry a firearm openly during a state of emergency -- and with Pennsylvanians waiting up to a year to get an LTCF, this is a much-needed correction to the law. HB 2440 -- the "Hunting, Firearm and Ammunition Life-Sustaining Business Act" -- would protect the entire firearms industry and shooting ranges from arbitrary closure during a state of emergency by making them life-sustaining businesses. HB 2440 will also bring Pennsylvania in line with the Department of Homeland Security's Essential Critical Infrastructure guidelines which considers the whole firearms industry essential. So, please run HB 1747 and HB 2440 immediately. The PA General Assembly must fix the law to protect my rights and restrain Governor Wolf's power. Gun Owners of America will continue to keep me informed on the status of these bills. Thank you very much.
