New Gun Law in Effect
Submitted by JimGuckin on Mon, 08/11/2008 - 3:46pm.“As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it.”
~Ronald ReaganRegardless on which side of the gun debate you find yourself on, Philly has a new gun law that you're going to need to know. As of Saturday if you own a gun and it goes missing, and you don't tell the police, expect to get a nice fine. $1,900 for first offenders and steeper fines for repeat offenders and up to 90 days in jail. Am I the only one that finds this kind of light? I am no gun toting card carrying member of the NRA, in fact I don't own a gun, but owning a gun in a responsibility. I've spent many a nights debating myself on the founding fathers intention on gun ownership. Yet, if I were to own a gun, and that gun went missing, I think I would let someone know....you know like the police. For one, I don't want them to come knocking if it's found at a crime scene, and I don't want to be responsible for it.
