Firearms Owners, Aplts v. Comm'r of PSP

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania affirmed the Commonwealth Court’s denial of permanent injunctive and mandamus relief and upheld the dissolution of the preliminary injunction, but reversed the lower court’s refusal to grant declaratory relief and vacated its denial of leave to amend, remanding for further proceedings. The Court interpreted the Uniform Firearms Act’s “instantaneous” and “immediate” requirements as applying only to the automated computer search, not to the human‑operator portion of background checks.
