MONUMENTAL INJUNCTION Issued Against PSP Commissioner – 18-21 yr Olds Can Apply for Licenses to Carry!

Today, Chief Counsel Joshua Prince of the Firearms Industry Consulting Group, was successful in securing a monumental permanent injunction against the Pennsylvania State Police in Lara, et al. v. PSP Commissioner, 2:20-cv-1582. The injunction precludes the Pennsylvania State Police from (1) arresting individuals between the age of 18 and 21 who openly carry firearms during a state of emergency; (2) denying applicants for a license to carry firearms merely because they are between the ages of 18 and 21; and, (3) from enforcing our draconian transportation laws (Section 6106) and state of emergency provision (Section 6107) against individuals between the ages of 18 and 21; which, as the Order specifies; thereby, allows them to “carry[] loaded, operable firearms, including handguns, on their person, in public and in their vehicles, for all purposes including self-defense.”

So what does this mean? Unless and until the permanent injunction is stayed or overturned, 18 to 20 year olds have more rights and protections in Pennsylvania than those of us 21 and older. Specifically, an 18 to 21 year old can now carry a loaded firearm on their person or in a vehicle, without being required to obtain a license to carry firearms! Of course, as this could change quickly, it would be wise for any person between 18 and 20 years of age to apply for and obtain his/her license to carry.

Please join us in congratulating Josh on this monumental victory!
