This is a pretty significant turn of events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole thing is part of a legal case known as <em>Schmidt, et al. v. Paris, et al<\/em>. A gun store called Shot Tec, LLC, a private citizen named Grant Schmidt, and the SAF all teamed up and are being represented by lawyers Joshua Prince and Dillon Harris. They&#8217;re up against the big guns, Col. Christopher Paris, who heads up the Pennsylvania State Police, and the aforementioned Sheriff, Sean Kilkenny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheriff Kilkenny has agreed to press pause on his search policy, but he&#8217;s making it clear that this doesn&#8217;t mean he&#8217;s backing down. In fact, he&#8217;s planning on opposing the petition. Col. Paris seems okay with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam Kraut, the Executive Director at SAF, expressed satisfaction that Sheriff Kilkenny is stepping back from his warrantless search policy. He emphasized the importance of respecting constitutional rights and raised concerns about the Sheriff&#8217;s policy violating these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-award-winning-stevens-334-rifles-now-available\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/award-winning-stevens-334-rifles-now-available\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pennsylvania-sheriff-hits-pause-on-warrantless-searches-at-gun-shops\" title=\"Pennsylvania Sheriff Hits Pause on Warrantless Searches at Gun Shops\">Award-Winning Stevens 334 Rifles Now Available<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that Sheriff Kilkenny has agreed to pull back from enforcing his policy of conducting warrantless searches of licensees,\u201d said Kraut in a press release obtained by GunsAmerica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRespect for constitutional rights is paramount. The Sheriff\u2019s policy raised constitutional concerns that we had outlined in our petition. While this case may take a while to litigate, during the process, licensees won\u2019t need to worry about the Sheriff\u2019s department violating their constitutional rights through the enforcement of the Sheriff\u2019s policy,&#8221; he continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAF founder and Vice President, Alan M. Gottlieb, added that the challenge should move through the courts quickly, but no actions should suggest the warrantless search policy is okay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is important that this challenge make its way through the court in a timely fashion,\u201d said Gottlieb, \u201cbut in the process, no actions should be taken which remotely suggest this policy is okay and will ultimately prevail. A warrantless search violates the Fourth Amendment, and that is never okay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, all in all, it&#8217;s a big win for SAF, but there&#8217;s more to come on this issue. Keep an eye out for further updates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pennsylvania-sheriff-hits-pause-on-warrantless-searches-at-gun-shops\" title=\"Pennsylvania Sheriff Hits Pause on Warrantless Searches at Gun Shops\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that Sheriff Kilkenny has agreed to pull back from enforcing his policy of conducting warrantless searches of licensees,\u201d said Kraut in a press release obtained by GunsAmerica. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":115,"featured_media":35702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-190776","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
