Carrying in state parks is a violation of their "
regulation", not a violation of PA law.
Unsecured areas of the Airports are okay as I understand it.
There is no law against carrying in hospitals (I carry when I go to the dentist, doctor or hospital).
School zones: The prohibition on carrying in a school zones does stipulate that is does not apply to someone engaging in an approved school activity with approval of having the firearm or any other lawful purpose.
Signs on private businesses have no legal weight in this state, so carry away. If they find out you have a firearm, they do have the right to ask you to leave, if you refuse, you're trespassing, so keep it hidden.
Off-limits:
1. Court Facilities
2. Casinos
3. Certain Department of State Premises
4. Any Place Off-limits By Federal Law.
State parks do have a regulation, not a law, but you can be charged with a summary offense according to their regs.
