Firearms Industry Consulting Group (FICG), a division of Prince Law Offices, P.C., has submitted a letter in response to South Heidelberg Township’s desire to move forward with the publication of an ordinance prohibiting the discharge of firearms in the township.
A full copy of the letter can be found here.
The background to this proposed ordinance is that on Thursday, August 8, 2013, during the Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board member, allegedly, voted 3-0 to advertise an ordinance banning the discharge of a firearm in the township. I say allegedly, because I understand the vote was actually 2-1. Nevertheless, what prompted the Board’s action was a resident’s complaint during the June meeting of a neighbors use of his own land; whereby, the neighbor fired his firearm on his own property. As Reading Eagle Reporter Duran states, “Police Commissioner James J. Girard said a township police officer asked the person who was doing the shooting to stop. After the officer left, the gunfire reportedly continued.” God forbid someone be allowed to use his/her own property, in a responsible manner.
The Board will meet on September 12, 2013, at 7PM. FICG intends to be present and voice opposition to the ordinance; however, FICG is asking everyone to attend the meeting and make your voice heard. If the Ordinance is passed, FICG welcomes any residents of South Heidelberg Township to contact us to discuss the possibility of bring suit against the Township.

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).
