    HB 2398 makes a very simple amendment, and pretty much undoes everything that Kane set out to do.

    Check it out:

    http://www.legis.state.pa.us/CFDOCS...d=0&billBody=H&billTyp=B&billNbr=2398&pn=3919

    It replaces the vehicle exemption with reciprocity for all CCW permits, resident or non.

    (11) Any person while carrying a firearm in any
    vehicle, which person
    nonresident who possesses a valid and
    lawfully issued license for that to carry a concealed
    firearm for any purpose which has been issued under the laws
    of the United States or any other state, regardless of the
    state of residence.

    * * *
    (15) Any person who possesses a valid and lawfully
    issued license or permit to carry a firearm which has been
    issued under the laws of another state, regardless of whether
    a reciprocity agreement exists between the Commonwealth and
    the state under section 6109(k), provided:
    (i) The state provides a reciprocal privilege for
    individuals licensed to carry firearms under section
    6109.
    (ii) The Attorney General has determined that the
    firearm laws of the state are similar to the firearm laws
    of this Commonwealth.

    Joshua Prince told me that he had a hand in drafting this one, which I pretty much expected he'd do. :)

    I hope Kane s***s a brick.

    Thank G-d. The Kane Kraziness has to be stopped. I hope this passes, because it sucks to be the only person in Philly without a firearm.

    Plan D? Not worth the hassle.
    I find it odd to read about this first on MDShooters, not the PA gun blog. They have not posted anything about this, yet.

    Its not a big issue to them.. as residents. That's why I say speak softly. I spoke to sone folks at the york show.. they are not ignoring this at all. But they tell me the best way to get it done is not to draw attention and just do it. Makes sense to me.. let's give them a shot. Its thier home court.

    how soon could this pass and become law
    glad to see something good come from the mess kane started

    That remains to be seen.

    There is a budget bru-ha-ha, where PA is operating without a budget for the past couple of days. Without a budget, PA can't pay it's bills.

    I sent the following to Governor Corbett in early May:

    I was born in the Wilkes-Barre General hospital, but raised in Maryland when my dad took a job at Bethlehem Steel Sparrows Point during WWII and mom was a welder in the shipyard.

    Though I live in Maryland, Pennsylvania is still “home” to me – except for my immediate family, all the relatives still live in Luzerne, Kingston, and the Harvey’s Lake area.

    My wife and I travel quite a bit since retiring from the Pentagon after thirty-eight years of service to my country.

    We pull a travel trailer and I have seven out-of-state permits which afford us the protection every American citizen is entitled to.

    Your Attorney General, Kathleen Kane, has gone after out-of-state permits with a vengeance. As a consequence, my ability to carry in PA under my Arizona, Florida, and Utah permits has now been cancelled.

    Sir, this is not right and I ask that you intervene on behalf of Americans who want to spend time and money in your great state, but hesitate to do so over Ms. Kane’s arbitrary action.

    I cannot apply for a PA permit because Maryland will not issue a permit for self defense without a resident proving that s/he has been attacked, survived and is under perpetual threat.

    An alternative that makes sense to me is for PA to issue non-resident permits. I would purchase one in a heart beat.

    Thank you.
