As our viewers are aware, I previously wrote about the devastating decision in Commonwealth v. Goslin from the Superior Court in relation to carrying a weapon on school property and the “other lawful purpose” defense.
After the decision, Mr. Goslin contacted me and we, pro-bono, filed a Motion for Reconsideration/Reargument en banc, wherein, inter alia, we argued that the Superior Court should permit new briefs to be filed and oral argument, after vacating the court’s July 6, 2016 decision. Today, the Superior Court GRANTED the motion, withdrew the July 6, 2016 decisions and scheduled re-briefing and argument.
Accordingly, the Superior Court’s July 6, 2016 decision is no longer valid and we will have an opportunity to re-argue the matter. Unfortunately, the court only provided several weeks to submit briefs and Mr. Goslin is not in a position to fund the briefing and argument. Therefore, if you are in a position to be able to help fund this matter, Mr. Goslin would greatly appreciate donations which can be made online through our Firm’s escrow account here – https://secure.lawpay.com/pages/princelaw/trust. Simply place Goslin Appeal in the Matter No/Client Name box.
We will keep our viewers apprised of the Superior Court’s ultimate decision in this matter

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).

Josh-I think the en banc panel of the Superior Court is going to carefully review this, and overturn the decision. Goslin’s actions were arrogant, or perhaps more kindly, overly parental in support of his child. “For other lawful purposes” should receive the broadest interpretation, not the least of which is, if the Commonwealth licenses you to carry a concealed firearm, there should be no limitation placed on you buy a school board. School boards are forbidden, under Title 18, from making gun laws anyway.

Hi, I had donated previously to the suppressor cause. If that is not valid, and the funds are available, could the funds be transferred? I had donated via PayPal.
Thanks, Marty

Donation inbound. Thank you for taking up this fight. Hopefully we can settle this once and for all – “…shall not be questioned.” is quite clear.

Josh, FYI, I suggest you re-write this excellent blog post into plain English, especially the headline which carries over directly to Facebook when embedded–and which means nothing to non-lawyers. I’m sharing the post, and getting “Huh?” responses. A headline like “Help Save 2A Rights from PA Courts!” may be over the top, but is closer to what folks would be able to immediately understand and support in an actionable way. You could get into the legal detail in paragraph 3 or 4 if needed. No offense. Modest contribution sent.

Ask the NRA to help with the case. I’m sure they would. Or any knife associations, sportsmans associations, magazines, clubs and the like. Mr. Goslin was not committing a crime. Police need to go after real criminals and stop preying on law abiding citizens.
