Uniform Firearms Act • “Public Disclosure” • Invasion of Privacy • Tort Claims Act

Doe v. Franklin Cnty., PICS Case No. 16-0683 (Pa. Commw. May 20, 2016) Cohn Jubelirer, J. (45 pages).

Trial court erred in its interpretation of “public disclosure” in §6111(i) in firearm carry licensees’ suit against sheriff and others seeking injunctive relief and damages and erred in holding that sheriff was entitled to high public official immunity, because the general assembly created a targeted form of liability for local agencies. Reversed in part, affirmed in part and remanded.
