WFB: Second Amendment advocates exploring legal options amid coronavirus shutdowns.
A top gun-rights group is challenging the state-ordered shutdown of “non-essential” businesses because of the coronavirus outbreak, and leading Second Amendment advocates say more could be in store.
Brandon Combs, president of the Firearms Policy Coalition, said his group filed a case on Friday asking the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to block Democratic governor Tom Wolf from including gun stores in a statewide shutdown of “non-essential” businesses. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has told Gov. Wolf he has until 8 p.m. on Friday to respond to the arguments in the case.
“Weapons and ammunition retailers are one of the most essential business types in the United States,” Combs told the Washington Free Beacon. “There is no ‘except in emergencies’ clause in the Constitution and the government cannot shut down the people’s right to keep and bear arms.”
Government mandates shuttering businesses in several states have raised the prospect that more gun retailers could be ordered to shut their doors. more here
Here’s ironic question for the “governor”; Are you going to send guys with guns to shut down a gun store? ….Asking for a news station I know that looking for a story.
“While our store is temporarily closed in cooperation with local government officials, we are here to help you stock up on essentials with free, same day curbside pick-up. Call us at (610) 929-7000 to place an order. Firearms excluded.”
And not that is NOT fake news, THAT IS their own website.

Home Depot changed/reduced their hours locally as well. (sssh that is the New Rochelle location, been going for two weeks now).
What is your Canary in the Coalmine moment people?
The lawyers are open? They weren’t on the essential list…
Nobody here delude themselves: gun confiscation is the left’s plan.
You know what happens next.
You might as well die fighting while you’re armed.
I always get a kick when “non-essential “ government offices are ordered closed. If they are non-essential, then why do they exist?
And how about abortion clinics? Are they allowed to remain open when everyone else has to close up shop?
The beginning of rebellion.
You go through the system. the system gives you no relief, you take it up a notch.
