What are the laws in PA?

I know my NY concealed permit isn't valid but can I carry in my car without a PA permit?

And I plan on driving through PA later this week...if I can, should I stop at the Centre County Sheriff's? How long does it take and what do I need? My carry permit? Hunter's Safety course card?

I used to have a PA permit but I know things have changed for the worse.

Thanks!

So I guess open carry in the car is ok? And oc in general?

I plan on stopping somewhere in PA to get my non res cc permit too. Any advice on where to stop along 76?

You cannot have a gun on your person in a vehicle. Must to be unloaded and in trunk without a CCW.  

OC is legal but not in a vehicle 

not sure about non res permit. Res permit takes 5 min with no requirements. Atleast in allegheny county. I can imagine it would be any more difficult anywhere else with the exception of philly maybe. 

you can bring your gun, just not on your person while you are driving or in the car. You cab OC your gun while outside of your car and not in a prohibited place.
while driving, pull mag out, unload and case it. put that in your trunk.  if you feel its unsafe to pump gas, get the gun out and OC it.. then put it back and go about your business.

He said he has NY CCW, which according to the law I posted makes it legal to carry the loaded firearm on his person while inside the vehicle. Since there is no reciprocity between NY and PA, he would have to open carry once he steps outside the vehicle.

There is no such thing as "open or concealed carry" inside a vehicle. The law states a license is needed to carry concealed or or about you person (while outside a vehicle) or inside a vehicle (doesn't matter if it's concealed or not).

Wrong. If a person does not have a license to carry a firearm, the places they can transport the unloaded firearm are very limited and laid out in the statutes. In other words, lacking a license to carry, you can not transport a firearm to places you want to open carry.

But he has one. So what's your point 

A person can legally carry a loaded handgun in PA in their vehicle while in possession of a License to carry from any state in the US.  Just can't take it out of his car and carry it concealed.

My point was, you told him he could bring his gun, just not on his person while driving a vehicle. Which, since he does have a permit, is wrong information. Because he does have a NY permit, PA law allows him to have a loaded firearm in his vehicle. There is no need to unload it, case it and stick in in the trunk.

But once he gets out of the vehicle, it is correct that the only thing he can do is open carry, or leave the firearm in the vehicle

Ohh that's great news.  Now I can be right more often.

Not sure how up-to-date this site is anymore but this should give you an idea which counties issue non-resident permits. Call ahead to make sure.

For what it's worth, Erie County was easy good to deal with.
