MEMORANDUM

Posted: March 4, 2022 09:42 AM
From: Representative Tracy Pennycuick
To: All House members
Subject: Firearm Owner Housing Discrimination (Previously circulated as Self Defense Rights PHRC)
 
***Recirculated due to updated subject line and draft attachment***

In the near future, I plan on introducing legislation that would protect law abiding citizens from being denied housing for exercising their 2nd Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution.
 
This legislation would amend the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act to add a new section that specifically deems it an illegal discriminatory practice to deny housing to anyone based on their choice to own and operate a firearm.
 
No individual should be punished or become homeless simply because they choose to legally protect their family and belongings. Please join me in cosponsoring this important legislation.
