Judiciary Committee Advances Dush ‘SB357’ to Fully Protect Sacred Right to Carry Concealed Firearm
HARRISBURG – Legislation sponsored by Pennsylvania Senate Second Amendment Caucus Chairman Sen. Cris Dush (R-25) that would fully allow for the concealed carrying of legally owned firearms, Senate Bill 357, was advanced (9-5) by the Senate Judiciary Committee today, with all five negative votes cast by PA Senate Democrats.
“Article 1, Section 21 of the Pennsylvania Constitution unquestionably states: ‘The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned’,” Dush said. “Unfortunately, as we have seen time and time again in the Democrat-controlled state House, even the most ‘well-intentioned’ or ‘commonsense’ gun laws can rapidly mutate, multiply and come to fruition as tyrannical, Orwellian firearm confiscation and control dictates. This is precisely why I have re-introduced Senate Bill 357 to serve as an unbeatable, nullifying legislative checkmate by fully allowing for the life-preserving, constitutionally recognized concealed carrying of legally owned firearms.”
Specifically, Senate Bill 357 would establish a new two-tiered system for Pennsylvania’s concealed carry process:
- Tier one would no longer require law-abiding citizens to obtain a permit to carry a concealed firearm in Pennsylvania.
- Tier two would give citizens the option of obtaining a License to Carry a Firearm (LTCF) permit that is valid throughout Pennsylvania; and would provide for carrying firearms in more than 30 other states that either recognize Pennsylvania LTCFs or a reciprocity agreement is in effect.
“Clearly, the safety and welfare of our citizens cannot be guaranteed by criminalizing our most fundamental freedoms by imposing universal background checks, disarming law-abiding citizens in ‘gun free zones’ or allowing the unconstitutional ‘red flag law’ confiscation of legally owned firearms,” reiterated Dush. “At the most practical level, Senate Bill 357 would fully protect Pennsylvania citizens who follow the law every day and should not be questioned, prosecuted or imprisoned any time they choose to exercise their sacred right to carry a concealed firearm.”
Senate Bill 357 now advances to the full Senate for consideration.

Reminder: BRMC Emergency Department Closure Scheduled For May 17
BRADFORD, PA — As part of the ongoing transition of services, Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) is reminding the community that its Emergency Department (ED) will officially close on Sunday morning, May 17, at 12:00 a.m.
Hospital leadership recognizes that this change may be difficult for patients, families and caregivers who have relied on emergency services in Bradford for many years. The organization remains committed to supporting the community through this transition with compassion, transparency and a continued focus on access to high-quality care.
“We understand the impact this change may have and are committed to helping patients navigate where to go for care moving forward,” hospital leadership said.
What This Means for Patients
Beginning Sunday morning, May 17 at 12:01 a.m., emergency services will no longer be available at BRMC. Patients experiencing a medical emergency should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Emergency medical services (EMS) will continue to transport patients to the most appropriate facility for care.
Services Remaining Open
While the emergency department will close, several services will continue to operate at BRMC, ensuring ongoing access to outpatient care locally. These include primary care, pediatrics, general surgery, urology, orthopaedics and sports medicine, medical oncology, pain management and physical medicine rehab, cardiology and women’s health.
Additional services that will remain open include the Anita Herbert, MD, Occupational Health Center; The Pavilion skilled nursing facility; and Upbeat, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. A laboratory blood draw station will continue operating Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and radiology services including mammography, ultrasound, x-ray and dexa services will be available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
These services will remain available to support the healthcare needs of the community and maintain continuity of care close to home.
Commitment to the Community
The transition reflects a broader effort to align services in a way that is sustainable and responsive to changing healthcare needs. BRMC remains dedicated to ensuring patients have access to appropriate levels of care, whether locally or within the regional system.
Hospital leaders continue negotiations with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) to acquire the BRMC campus building and assume operations of The Pavilion, the 95-bed skilled nursing facility on the campus.
Patients with questions about services or where to seek care are encouraged to visit the transition information page at www.brmc-ogh.org/BRMC-transition/ or contact their healthcare provider for guidance.

Terroristic Threats Arrest In Bradford
Chief Michael P. Ward of the City of Bradford Police Department announces the arrest of Michael Schoonover following an incident on April 22, 2026. At approximately 4:50 p.m., City of Bradford Police responded to a report of threats made by Schoonover towards two female victims at 79 Lincoln Avenue.
Upon arrival, both victims alleged that Schoonover had made verbal threats, including threatening to kill one of the victims and claiming to possess a loaded gun with which he would shoot and kill the other. Officers located Schoonover a short distance from the scene, where he refused to cooperate with police, ignoring commands and yelling obscenities and racial slurs towards the officers.
Due to his non-compliance, officers were forced to physically apprehend Schoonover, using substantial force to subdue him. Schoonover was subsequently transported to the City of Bradford Police Department for booking.
Following arraignment by Magistrate Luther, he was remanded to McKean County Jail on $50,000 cash bail. All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. For further information, please contact the City of Bradford Police Department.
