Dear Alan,
2006 Pro-Gun Legislation to be Introduced!!!
Are you frustrated with constantly being on the defensive
legislatively?
We are TOO!
In my lifetime of involvement with 2nd Amendment issues there has NEVER
been an opportunity like this for PA Gun Owners! We ACTUALLY have a
unique opportunity to take back freedoms we have lost but to do that WE
NEED YOUR HELP!!
WE, the grassroots gun and sportsmen's groups of PA have been hard at
work for over 8 months quietly preparing a pro-active legislative
package of bills that will 'greatly' enhance our rights and correct
some of the currently existing legislative wrongs. We have been
working behind the scenes with legislators drafting this legislation;
we now need YOUR help in enacting it into law. Rep. Daryl Metcalfe
(12th District-PA House) and Senator John Pippy (37th District-PA
Senate) are prime sponsors in introducing this landmark legislation to
end the illegal registration of Firearms Owners. This legislation is
currently co-sponsored by 37 members of the PA House of Representatives
and 7 members of the PA Senate.
Speakers will cover many additional issues of concern to Pennsylvania
gun owners such as:
1. The Duty to Retreat Law-the Castle Doctrine and Punitive Lawsuits
against gun owners.
2. Ending the ban on carrying a concealed firearm in state parks.
3. Ending the ban on carrying a firearm while riding an ATV (affects
police as well as citizens).
4. Ending the ban on carrying a self-defense firearm while hunting
(affects police as well as citizens).
For too long Pennsylvania gun owners have tolerated the introduction of
and deliberation on so-called reasonable gun control measures that
place us all at risk while at the same time turning us into
unintentional criminals! NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO CORRECT THIS!
The grassroots organizations supporting this legislation are listed
below:
(ACSL) Allegheny County Sportsmen's League,
(PSA) Pennsylvania Sportsmen's Association,
(PFSC) Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs,
(PGOA) Pennsylvania Gun Owners Association,
(GOA) Gun Owners of America,
(USP) Unified Sportsmen of Pennsylvania
(PSF&GPA)Pennsylvania State Fish & Game Protective Assoc.,
(PFSC) Philadelphia Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs,
(CCGO) Clarion County Gun Owners,
(FOAC) Firearms Owners Against Crime will record a vote for this
legislation as a Pro-Gun vote.
This is a perfect opportunity for all gun owners and sportsmen and
women who feel that the legislature has not heard their concerns to
make their voices heard. A good turnout of gun owners and sportsmen at
this event will be of immeasurable benefit for years to come. We will
also conduct grassroots lobbying exercises for interested gun owners
after the rally (Please contact me for additional information on
joining in this activity).
Buses are being arranged that will leave from the Pittsburgh area
(Parkway Center Mall) the morning of the rally (4AM) and leave
Harrisburg the same day (3PM). Cost will be approximately $30 per
person that covers the trip and refreshments. IF you would like to
drive instead, parking will be available at the Farm Show Complex. For
More Information and/or Travel Arrangements contact Kim Stolfer,
FOAC/ACSL, by phone at (412) 221-3346, or by E-Mail at
activist@fyi.net.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this critically important
message! Flyers are attached for your use in informing and encouraging
fellow gun owners to attend this event.

to do nothing." Edmund Burke (Founding Father)

Below are questions from the flyer that you may want to ask yourself,
or provide to your friends, when considering whether or not to attend
this rally:
1. Are your Constitutional rights important to you?
2. Do you know that your concealed carry permit is NOT valid in ANY
Pennsylvania State or County Park? Under current PA law you could be
arrested, jailed, fined and imprisoned AND lose your rights to own guns
for the rest of your life.
3. Would YOU like to keep your God-given right to defend yourself?
Forget it, unless YOU get involved in making your elected officials
understand your rights as outlined in both our state & Federal
Constitutions. They must understand rights are NOT a privilege, Rights
cannot be bargained away by ANYONE. (They are God-given. What God has
given is NOT NEGOTIABLE.)
4. Do you think that you should give the state your personal Social
Security number for recreational licenses?
5. Do you know that you can be falsely accused in a Protection From
Abuse (PFA) case and your firearms automatically confiscated without
ANY evidence of abuse?
6. Do you know you CANNOT ride a snowmobile or ATV and have in your
possession a firearm EVEN if you have a Concealed Carry License?
(See-75 PA §7727. Additional limitations on operation.) This
prohibition includes Police Officers as well as the average citizen!
7. Do you think it's fair that archers have to give up their right to
self-defense while bow hunting (This includes law enforcement)? Under
Current PA you are NOT allowed to carry a concealed firearm while bow
hunting and there have been several recent cases of archery hunters
being attacked while hunting.
8. Do you believe that you have the absolute right to defend your
family or yourself if criminals attack you? Under Current PA you can
be tried civilly and criminally costing YOU thousands $$!
9. If you are a law-abiding citizen do you think the state police
should register your guns like the Nazi's did to their citizens? The
Pennsylvania state police has kept a data base on all hand gun buyers
for 90 years. Has this database solved any crimes? If not then why are
they keeping these records?
10. Do you feel that you have NO voice in how the government is run?
11. Do you feel that if you speak up you are fighting the system?
12. Do you feel that "you can't fight city hall" & that if you try you
won't (can't) win?
13. Do you think more restrictive guns laws on ordinary citizens will
make you safer?
14. IF you don't like the answers to these questions then YOU should
plan on attending this news conference so that YOU can directly relay
your concerns to elected state lawmakers.
15. If you think Gun Registration is a good thing, history will support
your views. Here's an example: WWII Germany...Adolph Hitler. His Gun
Control laws from 1930's were the blueprints for the gun control
legislation we are subject TO THIS DAY! The 1968 omnibus safe street
and crime prevention act is almost WORD FOR WORD the 1938 Nazi Gun
Control Act used to register all guns and later confiscate them from
the citizens.
16. ACSL has assisted in drafting legislation to correct the above
injustices and we now need YOUR help to pressure the lawmakers into
passing corrective legislation into law.
17. IF you want specific information on our legislative efforts please
go the ACSL web site or for other sporting information.
