Local Liberty Alert: Pocono Township

The Pocono Township commissioners has introduced an ordinance on the use of firearms which expands the definition of a firearm and law enforcement ability to confiscate your firearms, while restricting your property use rights beyond existing safety regulations under state and federal law; ultimately furthering infringement on your 2nd amendment rights beyond the protections of public safety already in place.

Residents opposing this should attend and speak up at the next Pocono Township meeting on Monday June 17th at 6:00 pm at 112 Township Drive, Tannersville.
