Reply #6: We are dealing with something similiar

here in Pennsylvania. State law says no one can regulate firearms more strictly than state law, yet Philadelphia regularly denies people a License To Carry a Firearm and arrests people for lawful Open Carry. We keep waiting for someone to sue them but no one wants to man up who has been wrongfully violated.

Philthy says its because they are a city of the first class, that allows them to regulate firearms, but there is no such exception to state law. Philly is also pissed that people who were unlawfully denied there shall issue LTCF are getting issued out of state licenses by Floria, which is silly because Floridas licensing requirements are far more difficult to obtain, requiring finger prints and firearms training that Pa law does not.

If you pass the background check here you get a LTCF. But not in Philly, they will refuse you if you owe parking tickets. State law has a list of offenses that will deny you a permit, Philly just adds there own conditions as they please. Thats not "shall issue" its "may issue". The Florida background check is actually more intensive than the one in Pa as well. Philly is demanding a list of Philadelphia residents who have Florida permits be revealed to them so they may be revoked. Fl officials basically told them to go pound sand, Philly cant revoke them. A Florida official said at least he follows the law, unlike Philly which routinly ignores it.

BEAT DOWN! If only Philthy cared.
