We at PAFOA are proud to announce the launch of a new website, the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association Reference Library! The goal of the reference library is to provide a reliable source of information for commonly referenced data such as firearm-related statutes, court decisions, and other important documents to Pennsylvania firearm owners. Currently we have important most of the important Pennsylvnia Firearm Statutes and Pennsylvania Firearm Court Cases, and we plan on expanding that selection and adding federal documents as well. We hope this resource is useful to Pennsylvania firearm owners.
