In the six-year-old case of Landmark v. Evanchick, in Pennsylvania, the Firearms Policy Coalition has been vindicated. A settlement has been reached. The Pennsylvania State Police has agreed to revoke the policy of the Pennsylvania State Police to the effect that partially-manufactured frames, receivers, and kits, often referred to as 80% frames and receivers, were firearms that required a background check through an FFL before purchase.
The case started six years ago, on December 16, 2019. Then, Attorney General of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro issued an opinion classifying 80% receivers as functional firearms. Just four days later, on December 20, 2019, Firearms Policy Coalition filed a lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Police, which had stated they would accept the Attorney General’s opinion in their policies. On January 21, 2020, Judge Brobson of Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court issued an order preventing the enforcement of the policy. On April 21, 2022, the court issued an order granting a stay pending Pennsylvania State Police promulgation of new regulations, to be based on new federal regulations.
