As an avid sportsman and firearms owner, Chris opposes the over-regulation of guns owned by responsible Americans. Firearm safety education is an essential aspect of gun ownership, helping create a culture that respects the rights of gun owners and acknowledges their responsibilities. Chris opposes any legislation that takes away the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
Chris introduced legislation that recognized Pennsylvania's hunters for their continued commitment to safety and for setting a new state safety record in 2006. This legislation passed the House of Representatives overwhelmingly with a vote of 385 to 0, on September 24, 2007
