This bill perpetuates the idea, to which FOAC is opposed, that a city of the 1st class (Philadelphia) should have 'different gun laws'. Title 18, Section 6108 violates Constitutional principles of 'equal protection'.
This legislation would provide for a mandatory 2 year sentence for illegally carrying a firearm.
Title: In firearms and other dangerous articles, further providing for the offense of carrying firearms on public streets or public property in Philadelphia.
Subject:
Description: An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, further providing for the offense of carrying firearms on public streets or public property in Philadelphia.
