I feel some, not all members of the BOC are acting like the legiscritters of our state. And its nothing more then greed and a scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours attitude
I don't have a link right now and dont have much time to seek it out. What I remember was that the staff said that they had no idea what the effect would be. That alone warrants caution which the previous BOC ignored.
I do agree that there has not been much proof of negative effects in other states. I also agree that PA is unique in many ways.
As I've said time and again, I'm not so much against the weapon even though I dont personally like em ( I own one so that comes from personal experience)
My concerns were a lack of good information about how
PA would be affected and a concern about the percieved ease of the weapon attracting guys looking for a shortcut. We could definitely argue that one as a matter of opinion but we cant argue that the overwhelming public input was against it and the bulk of support was tied to the manufacturers
