An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous articles, further providing for licenses.

SB 148 requires applicants for a Pennsylvania concealed firearm license to demonstrate firearm competency through approved training or experience. It directly affects individuals seeking concealed carry permits by adding a new requirement to prove competency before a license can be issued. Key provisions include listing specific acceptable methods (like hunter safety courses, NRA training, or military service) and mandating documentation like certificates or instructor affidavits. The bill amends the application form to include a certification statement about completing such training, which must be submitted with the license application.
