Tuesday May 15, 2007 is primary election day in PA.   A guide for gun owners is compiled by 'Firearms Owners Against Crime'.  FOAC endorses candidates from local to statewide.  Please visit the FOAC website at http://www.foac-pac.org  see and print out voters guides for your area.  If you are a Democrat, your choice is simple, for statewide office there is 'Seamus McCaffery' for Supreme Court.   FOAC guides will help you with county offices however.  If you are a Republican, you have several FOAC endorsed choices.  For Supreme Court, there is 'Maureen Lally-Green'.  While the PSA does not endorse candidates, I have known Judge Lally-Green for several years and personally recommend her.   For many years Judge Lally-Green did work for former Supreme Court Chief Justice Flaherty and was greatly influenced by him.  The following is an extract from a decision written by Chief Justice Flaherty: "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned...Because the ownership of firearms is constitutionally protected, its regulation is a matter of statewide concern. The constitution does not provide that the right to bear arms shall not be questioned in any part of the commonwealth except Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, where it may be abridged at will, but that it shall not be questioned in any part of the commonwealth."  SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA, 545 Pa. 279; 681 A.2d 152; 1996 Pa. LEXIS 1447,  May 1, 1996, ARGUED  July 18, 1996, DECIDED If you want to see that kind of honest interpretation restored to Pennsylvania Courts, you need to get out on Tuesday and vote as if your freedom depends on it.  Use the FOAC  http://www.foac-pac.org voters guide for your area.  Please forward this to your friends.  Please forward this important message to your friends.  Harry Schneider, PSA Chairman Pennsylvania Sportsmen's Assn.,
