Handgun Pardon Prompts Legislative Action

Now, the legal saga that kept the Pennsylvania mother in jail for 48 days could change handgun laws throughout the United States. In Harrisburg, the Republican led house passed legislation that would allow gun owners with state issued concealed-carry permit to carry a handgun in any state that allows them. The measure faces longer odds in the senate.
