>>State Senate Passes Two Firearms Bills
(Harrisburg, PA) -- Pennsylvania's state Senate has approved two firearms bills, including one that would let people carry a loaded gun openly or concealed, without a permit. Another would punish cities and towns that impose firearms ordinances that are stricter than state law. After three hours of impassioned debate, the bills passed late last week with nearly complete Republican support. The votes also had backing from at least one Democrat. Democratic Governor Tom Wolf is expected to veto both bills.
