Philadelphia police are now selling shirts that say:
“Heroes when we die, fired when we try.”
City hall is not happy.

Wah! We are not allowed to get away with murder anymore!

I live in NJ so of course I'm jealous that residents of Pennsylvania can get a carry permit with relative ease. That's how it should be.

Citizens should be permitted their god given right to defend themselves without government interference. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
It sounds like you believe that more people carrying [easily permitted] guns make the world safer and lowers crime. So how come PA (home to Philadelphia, the subject of this thread) has substantially higher crime rates than NJ. It doesn't make sense.

Philadelphia is one little sh!t hole in a very large state.
DRUGS - DRUGS - DRUGS! - It's always been know for Herion and Junkies - cheaper - better - and its all allowed out in the open in broad daylight and no one gives a sh!t. Just drive down Kensington Ave and look a the freak show.
