Ah. I read that post of yours as two separate items initially. Once mentioning state parks, then the eta about needing to conceal.
didn't put it together that the ETA was about needing to conceal in state parks. |

I got my permit in Crawford county and has the same info as my drivers license. My question is if I move to another county say Erie county and I update my drivers license do I need to do the same to carry permit? How does that work? Thanks guys
ETA: would I have to go to Erie county sheriffs office and reapply for a permit? |

Thanks guys ETA: would I have to go to Erie county sheriffs office and reapply for a permit? You do not need to change/update anything on your LTCF. Only requirement is that when you renew, it is done in the county in which you reside. If you want to get an updated ltcf with new address, some counties will do it for you, but there is no requirement to do so. ETA: some counties send a renewal notice prior to your ltcf expiring. If you want, you can notify Crawford of your address change so that they don't send it to your old address. |

I have a question about the process of getting a concealed carry permit. I live within northampton county and the application says this B. PROOF OF RESIDENCY: (voter’s registration card, current-year paid per capita tax receipt OR earned income tax form from your local municipality).
ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER FORMS OF PROOF ARE ACCEPTED Im probably going to sound stupid here but what are those forms of ID. Would a W-2 form suffice? Im confused on this part. Any help would be awesome. Thanks. |

Thanks. Northhampton county is breaking the law. They should be held accountable, but they aren't, and the county council has apparently been informed of this rights violation, and refuses to change it. It's too bad that someone with some money, or the NRA wont go to court over it, and get the violators punished in some way. From 18 Pa.C.S. § 6109 (c) * The application for a license to carry a firearm shall be uniform throughout this Commonwealth and shall be on a form prescribed by the Pennsylvania State Police. * The form may contain provisions, not exceeding one page, to assure compliance with this section. * Issuing authorities shall use only the application form prescribed by the Pennsylvania State Police. It seems that if you want your LTCF in Northhampton, you have no choice but to submit to their unconstitutional and illegal demands. Anyhow, are you not registered to vote? I'm going to sound a little preachy here, but you really should be. I believe that the Voter Registration office is right accross the street from the sherrif's, so you could just stop in there on your way to apply or pick up your LTCF. |

I am registered to vote but have never received a voter card. And that is the route Im going to get this done is the voter registration card (which you only need a drivers license to get, so its just a tad redundant).
Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is Northampton county doing differently then all the other counties in the Commonwealth? I would like to become educated on this so when I go in to fill out the paper work I can ask a question about it. Thanks. |

PAFOA has a lot of info, but also has "Thread / Post Police". It's like being in grade school, very easy to be Issued a Warning, if they don't like what you post, or how you word your post. Banned or threats of being so are rampant. The site has a big OC Membership, handing out pamphlets, recording conversations with Police, etc. Again, a lot of info there, but it's nothing like ARFCOM. While I have nothing against OC, it has a place.

A concealed question> if pulled over by the police, do you have to inform the officer you are carrying?

What about a non-resident license? I'm interested in obtaining one and I'm not seeing anything specifically about it on the Attorney General's website or on some of the county Sheriff's websites. Allegheny County says you need a valid PA driver's license or ID card. Clearly I do not have that. Do I send in the application as if I were a PA resident, or is there a different procedure?

I believe that all non-resident applications must now be done in person.
If you call the specific sheriff office in that county I am betting they will tell you what you need to do. |

Hey guys, I just bought a house in Long Pond, PA, its in Monroe county. I'm moving there from NY, I cant wait to leave either, I hate this liberal commie sinkhole...lol. I have a few questions about gun ownership. I have many rifles and shotguns, as well as a few handguns. I also have a non resident PA carry license.
First question, how do I legally register my handguns in PA? Also, when would I be able to ccw or open carry, right after they're registered? Are there any laws against mag capacity? NY its 10rds, unless you have a preban mag. As far as rifles, the AR15 platform, any law for bbl length or overall rifle length? How about some of the NY "evil features," no telescoping stock, no flash hider, and no mags over 10rds unless preban? How about full autos? I have an m1919a4 thats only semi auto, I'd like to see if I could make it full auto, all legal of course. Whats the process? I hate to bombard you guys with so many questions, but I just want to stay with the law. Of course I'm going to do my own research, I just thought I could maybe get a quick rundown. Thanks guys, BTW, if anybody is in my area, are there any gun clubs around? |

NY its 10rds, unless you have a preban mag. You don't have to register pistols to carry them and no limit on mag capacity.As far as rifles, the AR15 platform, any law for bbl length or overall rifle length? How about some of the NY "evil features," no telescoping stock, no flash hider, and no mags over 10rds unless preban? Rifles have to be 16" barrel length and you can have all the features you want and again no mag restrictions.How about full autos? I have an m1919a4 that's only semi auto, I'd like to see if I could make it full auto, all legal of course. What's the process? Go to the armory section and look under NFA/Class 3 section. Its all stated there.I hate to bombard you guys with so many questions, but I just want to stay with the law. Of course I'm going to do my own research, I just thought I could maybe get a quick rundown. For all PA carry laws read all of this thread and the link on the first page.Thanks guys, BTW, if anybody is in my area, are there any gun clubs around? |

In order to conceal carry, or carry in your car without unloading and separating, you need a license to carry firearms. They are easy to obtain once you establish residency. But you do not need a license to own or buy firearms. Welcome to firearm freedom my man. I know it must be strange for you to accept the lack of rules and regulations after what you've lived under, but that will make it feel all the more refreshing once you are living here. :) So again, congrats and welcome! If you haven't found PAFOA yet, it is PA's main guns forum. Check it out. There are lots of good links there including all the applicable laws you are worried about and things you should know. Like any gun forum, it has its share of know it alls and buttholes but if you steer clear of the drama, it is a pretty good site for PA info. I would link them here, but I am not quite sure the rules or etiquette involved with linking to another gun forum. You can PM if you can't find them on your own. Justin |

Can you conceal carry a pistol that is in someone else's name? More specific can my brother carry my pistol? I'm sure the answer is no but want the facts. Thanks

I'm new to ccw and was going to Philly this weekend. Somebody told me I cannot conceal carry in city limits. Is this true? I know I cant in courts and certain federal buildings. But the city limits rule I was unaware of.

It's a rumor. Only the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania can pass laws regarding carry of concealed weapons.
Our Uniform Firearms Act is a good tool to have. When in doubt, call the PA Atty. Gen.'s office or the PSP. Philly tries, every now and then, to pass their own unlawful regulations. If you have a valid PA LTCF (or from a state that we recognize), you CAN carry a concealed weapon within the city limits. It is in PA. If I am wrong, well....I will....buy the person that corrects me a year membership. (That is I am wrong that 1320 yd sniper can carry in Philly with a PA LTCF or one from a state that we recognize.) -I have heard people have issue with open carry. Just throwing that out there.- |
