Resica Falls (Cradle of Liberty Council) just announced that they are cancelling their incoming 2nd Week of the season, that would have started today.
The Mid-Atlantic region did get hit pretty hard yesterday with severe storms, so what they are saying isn’t surprising - especially with how rural the area of the camp is.
I have no further info, but would be curious to hear where units end up, and if Resica ends up reopening next week.
SB200 is making the rounds and causing a little panic.
As it stands now, SB200 isn't going anywhere this election term. It's been introduced by Senator Santarsiero and his Everytown-funded friends for the last 3 election cycles (2021/2022, 2023/2024, and now 2025/2026). SB200 is currently languishing in the Senate Judiciary committee, where it died last term, and the term before. I’d expect that barring a catastrophic political event, it’ll die there this term too.
Why will it die? The Senate still has a Republican majority this term. Senate leadership is motivated to let the bill die in committee without a vote. That's exactly what happened during the last two legislative sessions. Leadership (on both sides) doesn't want a voting record on this unless it's going to pass - because it'll be used against members (These voting records are a big part of how orgs like FOAC/GOA/NRA and Everytown "rate" elected officials)
Now... next term? I’m worried. The state is becoming more Blue, and seats are flipping. THAT is the bigger problem.
If the Senate flips, will it run? Yes. But that would be the 2027-2028 legislative session. I wouldn't waste a ton of time communicating with your legislators about SB200 right now - because they may not even be in office next term. The effort needs to be on discussing how to avoid what happened in VA. That means we need to mobilize VOTERS, not keyboard warriors, and ensure those voters understand the importance of this election.
Make sure you vote. Speak up at your gun clubs and make sure your gun owner friends understand the consequences of the Senate switching sides.
Beyond voting, you CAN work to build a relationship with your elected representatives. PA actually has the largest full-time legislature per capita in the nation. Our legislators do NOT have large staffs, and often DO look at their emails. When you become known to your legislators as someone who will have a rational conversation with them, you can actually get somewhere. Even more so if you go visit them in person. When I was super active, both my Rep and Senator (and their staff) knew who I was, and on more than one occasion, I managed to get face time with less-than-friendly legislators, even after their staff tried to blow me off. Having a relationship means that if the Senate does flip, we can perhaps stave off the worst parts or get carve-outs to make the pending legislation hurt less. BUT... we need to look like reasonable people.
Also, don't forget: In Pennsylvania, our right to keep and bear firearms is codified under Article 1, Section 21 of the PA Constitution. If you're going to fall back on Constitutional protection, don't talk about 2A, talk about how "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned."
