Pennsylvania SB208 amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to modify the sale and transfer of firearms. It mandates that sellers, licensed importers, licensed dealers, licensed manufacturers, or county sheriffs cannot deliver a firearm to a purchaser or transferee until 72 hours have elapsed from the time of the purchase. This waiting period does not apply to transfers between spouses, a parent and child, or a grandparent and grandchild under 26 inches.
