I love Corbett. He is not fooling around. This bill should have passed last year. He also is getting his budget through without tax increases. It is nice to see a Conservative run things here in PA for a change.

I just find it hard to believe that a law should even be required for this.

First point of use, the boroughs outside Philly and Harrisburg where white on black racism is occurring. No stinking curfew’s, shoot on site.

Thank you, but I am one of thousands. My next dilemma will be deciding between a Remington 870(7 shot capacity) or a Mossberg 590 A1(I thnik 9 shot capacity) to supplement my old Mossberg 500.

Stick with the Mossberg, especially if you already have one. There is a lot to be said for familiarity with a particular firearm. The 500 and 590 have identical controls.

If you do get the 590A1, you MUST put a bayonet on it. :^)

Congrats PA.

Encompasses a wide definition of dwelling, and a right to stand your ground in public.

Both very important to defeat the legal trickery of anti-gun prosecutors.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett - Radio Interview

At the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia on June 3. Really good interview with the Gov.

There was a video link but I can't find it.
