- Bill requiring owners to lock up guns advances to Pa. House over GOP objections
A Pennsylvania House bill requiring gun owners to lock firearms in safes or use locking devices when not in use advanced over GOP objections. The bill includes a sales tax exemption for gun locks and safes but faced criticism from Republicans who argue it hinders self-defense. The measure passed the Judiciary Committee on a 16-14 vote.
