Default Re: What weapons you CAN and CANNOT Carry in the State of Pennsylvania

In 6102 the UFA you will find the default def for firearm, as posted above by myself and you..

SOME parts of the UFA have different def of firearm to which they are clearly defined in the section. Example: ss6105.
The definition within 6105 only applies to 6105 (possession/transfer) only. Just like it says in the section "As used in this section only".

So, it's really pretty simple. If the section does not have it's own definition it uses the default (6102). Lacking a default (not the case in the UFA and "firearms") the courts will use the common law definition.

You'll find most law to congruent with this process.

SS6106 does not have it's own def of firearms, so 6102 def applies. Therefor your LTCF applies to firearms as defined by 6102
