Pennsylvania: Harrisburg City Council to Vote on “Lost or Stolen” Ordinance Tonight!

Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Please Contact the City Council Immediately!

Tonight, the Harrisburg City Council will vote on an anti-gun ordinance that would require gun owners to report a lost or stolen firearm within 24-hours or face fines and possible imprisonment. 

This proposed ordinance would violate Pennsylvania’s state preemption statutes which dictate that only the state can enact firearms regulations.  It would victimize law-abiding gun owners a second time by penalizing those who unknowingly fail to report the theft or loss of a firearm within the required time period.  To view the ordinance, please click here.

Tonight’s meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. in the City Council’s chambers on the ground floor of the City Government Center located at 10 North Second Street.

Please contact the members of the Harrisburg City Council IMMEDIATELY and respectfully urge them to oppose this unwarranted and illegal ordinance.  City Council members can be reached by phone at (717) 255-3060. Email addresses can be found below.
