SB565 eliminates the requirement of a license to carry a firearm in the state.
The Pennsylvania State Senate passed SB565 on November 9, 2021 by a vote of 29 to 21. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The Constitution does not state where you can or cannot possess a firearm.
