Mark Fiorino, of Lansdale, said his right to bear arms and right to free speech were violated by Philadelphia Police on three occasions. He posted audio of his alleged harassment on YouTube
Mark Fiorino is not an NRA card-carrying member. He’s not a radical right-winger (nor is he a liberal left-winger). He’s not some crazy with a vendetta either. Fiorino is an American citizen, exercising his right to bear arms. He and the American Civil Liberties Union are taking the Philadelphia Police to court for violating that right, as well as his right to freedom of speech.

And it’s easier to get to in case there is an emergency.” There’s also the …
