Big win in Pennsylvania over permitting and background check delays :: 09/07/2022
Back in April I reported on a case out of Pennsylvania. The case, Firearm Owners Against Crime – Institute for Legal, Legislative and Educational Action, et al. v. PSP Commissioner Evanchick, involved the substantial delays that residents of the Keystone State had to suffer through concerning firearms related background checks. As reported previously, Pennsylvania is one of the few “point of contact” states concerning the FBI NICS check, and the Pennsylvania State Police acts as an intermediary between the FFL/Issuing Authorities and FBI NICS System. I’ve argued for years that since the NICS system is completely computerized now, such “point of contact” systems are redundant and useless. Further, it’s my belief they’re unconstitutional. A decision came down in the case, and some of it’s consistent with my thoughts exactly.
