HARRISBURG, Pa. (CBS) — Governor Tom Corbett is backtracking from comments made during a radio interview suggesting that he might consider banning the sale of guns on state property.

The comment came during an appearance on Harrisburg public station WITF’s “Radio Smart Talk” program. Governor Corbett was asked about why the state allows gun sales at its massive Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, and whether that policy should be changed.

Pennsylvania already has a preemption law, much to the chagrin of Philly and Pittsburgh.

This is a classic case of the media creating an issue where none existed. Corbett NEVER said he was considering anything. More info here:

Thanks for your link on Post 6.
You are certainly correct that the media (CBS?) is engaging in hyperbolic word twisting to come up with their statement that the Governor had previously been '...suggesting that he might consider banning the sale of guns on state property'.
Based on the transcript at the link, 'suggesting that he might' was an extreme, and obviously deceptive, extrapolation.
Lying liars inhabit the Media.

The NEW one which wasn’t signed last year stops municipalities from passing idiotic gun laws as a whim and costing the defendant lots of $$ to prove them wrong.The new bill would stop this practice.

Pennsylvania: Legislature Fails to Act on Important Firearms Preemption Legislation

Despite the fact that nearly fifty local governments have enacted illegal gun control ordinances in violation of the current state firearms preemption law, the Pennsylvania Legislature failed to act on important reform legislation that would have addressed this problem.

Senate Bill 273, sponsored by state Senator Richard Alloway (R-33), would have strengthened Pennsylvania’s firearms preemption law to further ensure firearm and ammunition laws are consistent throughout the state.

While this legislative session comes to a disappointing close, enacting firearms preemption legislation in Pennsylvania remains a top priority for the 2013-14 legislative session.

With less than three weeks until Election Day, it is important you ask state candidates what they will do—if elected—to help ensure the passage of firearms preemption legislation next session.
