On March 12th, 2013, the Borough of New Britain passed a 2nd Amendment Preservation Resolution, which I understand was almost identical to first 2nd Amendment Preservation Resolution that was passed by Gilberton PA, after being introduced by Police Chief Mark Kessler. I understand the Council’s vote was a 5-2 vote in favor of enacting the Resolution. As soon as I obtain a copy of the Resolution, I will post it.
This makes New Britain one of many municipalities that have recently passed 2nd Amendment Preservation Resolutions, including:
- Gilberton PA;
- Frackville, PA;
- East Coventry Township;
- and even Susequehanna County;
Now, we just need HB 357 to be passed, so that we have a statewide 2nd Amendment Preservation Resolution!
I will continue to keep you apprised as other municipalities enact 2nd Amendment Preservation Resolutions.
UPDATE: A copy of the resolution can be found here.

With our 2nd Amendment rights being attacked at both the Federal and State level, and the ATF (Burea of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) trying to close down FFLs (Federal Firearms Licensees) for minor infractions while making FFLs the scapegoat when the ATF's records are inaccurate, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am one of only a handful of attorneys across the US that practices in the niche area of law known as firearms law. I decided to concentrate my legal practice on firearms law not only because I am a shooter and firearms enthusiast, but also to ensure that our inalienable Right to Keep and Bear Arms is never encroached upon.
I handle cases at the Federal and State level for both FFLs and individuals. At the federal and state levels for individuals, I actively defend the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution and Section 21 of the PA Constitution, as well as, help individuals with:
- License to Carry Firearms Denials;
- Challenges to Erroneous PICS Denials;
- Relief from Firearms Disabilities;
- Estate Planning Advice;
- Gun/NFA Trusts; and
- 42 USC 1983 Actions for Deprivation of Civil Rights
At both the state and federal levels, I represent FFLs and SOTs throughout Pennsylvania and the US regarding:
- ATF Compliance Inspections;
- Warning Letters and Hearings;
- FFL Revocations;
- Corporate Structure Advice
- Indoor/Outdoor Range Implementation; and
- Forfeiture Proceedings
In following my love for firearms and firearms law, I have taught several Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars on Firearms in Estates and Trusts and Firearms Law 101 for several Bar Associations, including Berks, Cumberland, and Dauphin Counties. I also planned and taught several Firearms in Estates CLE classes for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI).
While at Widener Law School, I was a member of the Widener Law Journal. I wrote an article on the Inaccuracy of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR). I also had an article published on Fee Disputes in Workers Compensation cases in the Widener Law Journal, Volume 18, No. 2.
You can often find me posting on several internet forums, including Subguns, Uzitalk, AR15, and PAFOA. I also hold PA Firearms Law classes for local ranges to inform the public on the firearm laws of the Commonwealth.
Following in my father's footsteps, I am also a Board member for the Pottstown Police Athletic League (PAL).

Please see copy of a resolution I authored and asked the Board of Commissioners of Upper Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County PA to consider and adopt. Met with resistance. I am currently a private citizen, but I am running for a seat on the Board this year.
Any assistance you are able to provide would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
