FOAC-ILLEA CHALLENGES UNLAWFUL FIREARM DISCHARGE ORDINANCE IN East Greenville Borough

Posted on by Kevin P. Fenchak, Esq.

Yesterday, Chief Counsel Joshua Prince of the Firearms Industry Consulting Group (“FICG), a division of Civil Rights Defense Firm, P.C., filed a letter on behalf of Firearm Owners Against Crime – Institute for Legal, Legislative and Educational Action (FOAC-ILLEA) with Borough of East Greenville Mayor Stephen Wescott, Members of the Borough Council, and East Greenville Police Chief Randy Morris regarding their recent passage of an unlawful and unconstitutional firearm discharge ordinance.

As addressed in FOAC-ILLEA’s letter to the Borough, in direct defiance of the legion of precedent from the Pennsylvania Supreme and Commonwealth Courts, the ordinance seeks to regulate the discharge of firearms in the township. As our readers may remember, in Firearm Owners Against Crime, et al v. Lower Merion Township, the Commonwealth Court ruled that discharge provisions are preempted under Pennsylvania’s firearm and ammunition preemption statutes.

As this ordinance constitutes a criminal offense, FOAC-ILLEA is prepared to file private criminal complaints with the Montgomery County District Attorney if the ordinance is not repealed.

Please join me in thanking FOAC-ILLEA for always remaining steadfast in its dedication to defending Article 1, Section 21, 18 Pa.C.S. 6120 and the Second Amendment. I would highly encourage anyone in a financial position to do so, to donate to FOAC-ILLEA so it can continue to support important litigation defending our Rights.

If your state or federal constitutional rights have been violated, contact FICG today to discuss your options.

  1. Any feedback on ghost gun ordinances being passed. Supposedly Reading is considering quietly and a couple others have done it. Unconfirmed.

    Far as I know the ghost gun law hasn’t passed yet in Harrisburg.
