SB565 eliminates the requirement of a license to carry a firearm in the state.
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed SB565 on November 16, 2021 by a vote of 107 to 92. 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.
