Federal Overwatch: DOJ Probes Philadelphia PD Over “Subjective” Gun Permit Revocations


The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched a sweeping federal civil rights investigation into the Philadelphia Police Department’s (PPD) Gun Permit Unit. The probe, orchestrated by the Civil Rights Division's newly formed Second Amendment Section, will evaluate whether the city is utilizing unconstitutionally vague and subjective "character, reputation, and good cause" standards to arbitrarily strip law-abiding citizens—specifically members of a local Black armed defense group—of their legal means of self-defense.
