SB 1075 amends Pennsylvania's statutes on firearms by updating definitions, licensing requirements, and possession rules across Titles 18 (Crimes), 23 (Domestic Relations), and 34 (Game). The bill requires a license to carry firearms, restricts who may possess or transfer them, and sets standards for license applications, fees, and training. It directly affects Pennsylvania residents seeking to legally own, carry, or transfer firearms, as well as law enforcement agencies like the Pennsylvania State Police handling license applications. Key provisions include new eligibility criteria for licenses, mandatory background checks for transfers, and administrative rules for enforcement. The bill does not address gun sales to licensed dealers or existing firearm owners.
