Philadelphia’s Gun Carry License Revocations More Than Doubled Over the Past Five Years

Philadelphia’s gun carry license revocations increased nearly 2.5 times over five years, prompting a federal investigation into the criteria used. The Black Lion Party for International Solidarity, a group conducting armed patrols, had several members’ licenses revoked after a clash with police, with their attorney alleging discriminatory tactics. A proposed Pennsylvania bill aims to prohibit revocations based on 'character and reputation,' criticized as vague.
