Hello All,
I'm new here, just posted this same topic last night but it has not posted yet so I'm assuming I did something wrong. So here goes again.......
On USACARRY's Concealed firearm permit information by state page under Pennsylvania it states
eadly Force / Castle Doctrine:
Pennsylvania is a Castle Doctrine state and has a stand-your-ground law.
From what I've found on the Pennsylvania General Assembly webpage it states that SENATE BILL 842 : An Act amending Titles 18 (Crimes and Offenses) and 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general principles of justification, further providing for definitions, for use of force in self-protection, for use of force for the protection of other persons and for licenses to carry firearms; and providing for civil immunity for use of force.
This bill has not yet even been voted on yet. It was referred to Judiciary on MAY 5th 2009. When you click on the link for "VOTES" it states there are no votes on Senate Bill 842. Either USACARRY is wrong on their statement or the info from the Pa General Assembly page is wrong. Either way I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention as it could cause someone some trouble by thinking they are more protected by our laws than they really are. Can someone shed some light on this? Please let me know if I have this wrong. If right maybe USACARRY should remove that claim from the state's firearm permit info page.
Thanks,
