>>PA Federal Court Rules In Favor Of Gun-Rights Advocates In PA Gun-Rights Case

(Harrisburg, PA) -- Young adults in Pennsylvania cannot be arrested for carrying firearms in public during a declared state of emergency. A federal appeals court made the decsion yesterday. This has been an ongoing legal battle since a group of Pennsylvania residents filed suit that their second-amendment right could not be infringed during a declared state of emergency. They argued that the right to bear arms is no different than the right to vote. Gun-control advocates criticized the verdict, claiming it would put lives at risk. Legal experts say the matter may be appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
