Chief amongst those would be the implementation of a new "Firearm Eligibility Card" which all PA resident gunowners would need to have and keep on them at all times if they're transporting their firearms. If you check out the full text, you'll see that they criminalize the possession of firearms if you don't have a FEC. There is a LOT of crap in this bill -- including a $50 application fee, mandatory training requirements, and a $30 renewal on top of loosely worded "Sheriff's Fee" and other administrative fees. Basically, it makes the prospect of legally owning and transporting a gun all the more precarious and dangerous for the gunowner. [More]Here's the beast in question. The guy who posted this says it's not getting needed attention. Anybody know if that's because it doesn't have a chance of getting passed, or is this something to worry about?
