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.
