Law Professer David Kairys on gun control

Philadelphia's latest attempt at gun control — an ordinance to close the so-called "Florida loophole" — is likely to get the thumbs up from Philadelphia City Council members within the next few weeks. The "Florida loophole" allows Pennsylvania residents to obtain concealed weapon permits in Florida and use them legally in Pennsylvania. David Kairys, a professor at Temple's Beasley School of Law, says council has been down this road before: "They haven't given up. They keep trying, and I think it is possible that this one could survive." But, says Kairys, the law still must contend with state legislators who are supportive of gun rights.
