Emergency Powers Bill October 9 2008

Governor Rendell….
Today, House Bill 1845, an omnibus legislative package known as the Emergency Powers Bill, passed the State House and State Senate and is on the way to you, Governor Ed Rendell. I certainly hope you will sign it.
This legislation contained a number of provisions for Pennsylvania gun owners. Among the provisions was an “Emergency Powers” provision prohibiting any government agency from arbitrarily confiscating firearms during a state of emergency, such as occurred in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Sincerely,
Alex Charyna

It’s honestly a damned shame that this could even be an issue. The Pennsylvania Constitution could not be clearer on the topic of gun ownership.
Right to Bear Arms
Section 21.The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.
That’s the entirety.
