I need to visit PA and I will need to carry a handgun.  I have a resident permit in SC and a non-resident permit in FLA - where can I read CURRENT PA reciprocity?  Further, I also believe I can carry open anywhere other than Shitadelphia?  Is this true?

Thanks for any help!

Also PA gives reciprocity to ANY permit for the purposes of carrying within a vehicle. By Pa law, any carry within a vehicle is considered concealed, so you need a permit.

Even with no reciprocity you can carry concealed or open in a vehicle with your SC permit, and open outside the vehicle as long as you avoid Philadelphia.

RV/Car Carry Without a Permit/License
From the PA State Police FAQs.
Are there exceptions to carrying a firearm without a Pennsylvania License to Carry?
A License to Carry Firearms is issued to carry a firearm concealed on one’s person or in a vehicle within this
Commonwealth. Any person who carries a firearm concealed on or about his person except in his place of
abode or fixed place of business without a valid and lawfully issued license commits a felony of the third
degree.
A person who is otherwise eligible to possess a valid license under this chapter but carries a firearm in any
vehicle or any person who carries a firearm concealed on or about his person, except in his place of abode or
fixed place of business, without a valid and lawfully issued license and has not committed any other criminal
violation commits a misdemeanor of the first degree.
