Important Appellate Court News:
In a landmark decision, on July 22, 2016, a three-judge panel of a Pennsylvania appellate court, the Pennsylvania Superior Court, overturned the decision of a judge of a Court of Common Pleas that had denied expungement of the two involuntary 302 civil commitments of one of attorney McCormick's clients.
The Pennsylvania Superior Court agreed with Attorney McCormick that the trial court judge had abused his discretion when he disagreed with attorney McCormick's argument that the procedural requirements of the Pennsylvania Mental Health Procedures Act were violated in the case when his client was committed and that the record of both of the two commitments must therefore be expunged.
The trial court's decision was reversed and the case was sent back to the trial court with directions that the trial court judge order the expungement of both commitments.

ACTIONS THAT YOU CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW TO PROTECT YOUR FIREARMS RIGHTS
1. Contact your U.S. Representative and Senators and demand that they enact legislation guaranteeing access to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and federal courts for purposes of seeking restoration of 2nd Amendment Rights.
2. Demand that the NRA stops giving "A" ratings to legislators who vote to deny access to ATF and federal courts for purposes of seeking restoration of 2nd Amendment Rights.
3. Contact your your U.S. Congressman and Senators and demand that they improve the safe haven laws for travelers that are presently provided for in the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA) and the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) so that those laws include protection to travelers against state and local laws that restrict magazine capacity and ban certain ammunition.
4. Demand that your state Representative and state Senator defeat Pennsylvania HOUSE BILL 931.
5. Demand that your state Representative and State Senator enact legislation that:
(a) mandates that the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court recognizes firearms rights as the fundamental constitutional rights that they are (and not as mere privileges such as a driver's license as the Commonwealth Court does now),
(b) improves Pennsylvania expungement laws,
(c) improves Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act Section 6105(b) that defines equivalent offense, and
(d) improves Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act Section 6105.1 that provides for restoration of firearms rights as has been recommended by Kim Stolfer and Harry Schneider.

Important Appellate Court News:
In a landmark decision, on July 22, 2016, a three-judge panel of a Pennsylvania appellate court, the Pennsylvania Superior Court, overturned the decision of a judge of a Court of Common Pleas that had denied expungement of the two involuntary 302 civil commitments of one of attorney McCormick's clients.
The Pennsylvania Superior Court agreed with Attorney McCormick that the trial court judge had abused his discretion when he disagreed with attorney McCormick's argument that the procedural requirements of the Pennsylvania Mental Health Procedures Act were violated in the case when his client was committed and that the record of both of the two commitments must therefore be expunged.
The trial court's decision was reversed and the case was sent back to the trial court with directions that the trial court judge order the expungement of both commitments.

ACTIONS THAT YOU CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW TO PROTECT YOUR FIREARMS RIGHTS
1. Contact your U.S. Representative and Senators and demand that they enact legislation guaranteeing access to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and federal courts for purposes of seeking restoration of 2nd Amendment Rights.
2. Demand that the NRA stops giving "A" ratings to legislators who vote to deny access to ATF and federal courts for purposes of seeking restoration of 2nd Amendment Rights.
3. Contact your your U.S. Congressman and Senators and demand that they improve the safe haven laws for travelers that are presently provided for in the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA) and the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) so that those laws include protection to travelers against state and local laws that restrict magazine capacity and ban certain ammunition.
4. Demand that your state Representative and state Senator defeat Pennsylvania HOUSE BILL 931.
5. Demand that your state Representative and State Senator enact legislation that:
(a) mandates that the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court recognizes firearms rights as the fundamental constitutional rights that they are (and not as mere privileges such as a driver's license as the Commonwealth Court does now),
(b) improves Pennsylvania expungement laws,
(c) improves Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act Section 6105(b) that defines equivalent offense, and
(d) improves Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act Section 6105.1 that provides for restoration of firearms rights as has been recommended by Kim Stolfer and Harry Schneider.
