Pennsylvania man wins fight with state police over gun ban

By Chris Eger

The Commonwealth Court last week sided with a man who wanted the Pennsylvania State Police correct their records so he could legally purchase a firearm.
In a 2-1 ruling handed down Wednesday, the court found the PSP had kept inaccurate criminal history records in the case of Michael Haron, who was denied a firearms sale based on their faulty information. As such, the court awarded Haron damages and legal fees, citing he was “unlawfully denied exercise of his Second Amendment constitutional right.”
According to the court documents, Haron was pulled over by police in Allentown in 1991 as part of a traffic stop, with officers discovering a BB gun in his possession as well as a small amount of marijuana. Haron pled guilty to carrying a loaded weapon other than a firearm — a first degree a misdemeanor — while the marijuana charge was dismissed.
Then in March 2014, Haron tried to purchase a firearm and was denied after a check by the dealer through the Pennsylvania Instant Check System found his earlier weapons conviction, arguing it was entered in the system as a felony. On appeal, PSP upheld the refusal which led Haron to retain an attorney and file a further appeal
