I was down at the Dauphin county courthouse today and picked up a booklet on PA Firearm Laws.

In there it defines firearm as a pistol or revolver with a barrel length 15" or smaller, shotgun with a barrel length of 18" or smaller, and a rifle with 16" or smaller barrel length OR any gun whose overall size is less than 26".

My question is, am I able to open or conceal carry an AK-47 / WASR / AKM / AR15 etc?

Could I walk downtown Harrisburg with my AK stock collapsed and slung over my shoulder? Granted I would never do that, but I thought it was a compelling question.

Also, something to note: If Eddy Rendell calls a "state of emergency" or if the feds call a state of emergency, it is illegal to have a firearm on or around you unless you are using it in self defense of yourself or property (even if you have a permit to carry).

Thought that was interesting because if a state of emergency is called, I can see PA turning into New Orleans very quickly.
