Pocono Township Special Meeting of the Board of Commissioners There will be a special meeting of the Board of Commissioners held at the township building located at 112 Township Drive, Tannersville, PA on Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at 6:00 P.M. to discuss a proposed Firearms Ordinance, and any other business that may come before the Board of Commissioners.

The Pocono Township commissioners has introduced an ordinance on the use of firearms which expands the definition of a firearm and law enforcement ability to confiscate your firearms, while restricting your property use rights beyond existing safety regulations under state and federal law; ultimately furthering infringement on your 2nd amendment rights beyond the protections of public safety already in place.

Residents opposing this should attend and speak up at the next Pocono Township meeting on Monday June 17th at 6:00 pm at 112 Township Drive, Tannersville.
