Re: Can I carry my father's pistol in PA.
Oh yeah, about your friend. There are many laws about how to carry a gun in a car, and having a LTCF doesn't exempt you from all of them. Maybe the cop was wrong, or maybe your friend broke one of the other rules. The best thing for anyone who plans to carry is to know the laws, obey the laws, and maybe even carry a copy of the pertenent codes in the glove box for just such occassions. Cops have a lot of rules and regulations to remember and some just don't know the carry laws as well some people who carry a gun, but every time a LEO walks up to a vehicle they put themselves at great risk, and they'd rather be wrong then dead when it comes to confiscating a weapon.
