Lancaster Becomes Eighth PA City to Pass Anti-Trafficking Law

Jun 9, 2009

Tonight, the Lancaster City Council voted unanimously to pass a law requiring gun owners to report lost or stolen firearms to the police. This measure will remove a commonly used alibi employed by gun traffickers and help get illegal guns off the streets. Lancaster joins Wilkinsburg, Allentown, Pottsville, Reading, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh to become the eighth municipality in Pennsylvania to pass the requirement.
