HARRISBURG, PA (April 27, 2026) — Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced today that after more than six years of litigation, FPC has secured a settlement with the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) that resulted in the permanent revocation of the agency’s policy regarding “partially manufactured” firearm receivers. The PSP’s policy was imposed along with a December 16, 2019 opinion by then-Attorney General (now-Governor) Josh Shapiro. FPC secured a preliminary injunction against the policy in January 2020, blocking its enforcement, which has been in effect since and has protected Pennsylvania gun owners and lawful businesses.
“This FPC victory for the people of Pennsylvania ends the threat of this immoral and unlawful policy for good,” said FPC President Brandon Combs. “Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday should be commended for recognizing something that his ideologically driven predecessors refused to recognize: that they wasted six years of time and taxpayer dollars defending the indefensible. Pennsylvanians can rest easier knowing that Governor Shapiro’s pet policy is in the trash can where it belongs.”
FPC was joined in this case by Landmark Firearms LLC, US Rifle, LLC, and Polymer80, Inc. The plaintiffs were represented by Joshua Prince from Civil Rights Defense Firm, P.C. Key case filings can be found at firearmspolicy.org/evanchick.
