Re: 1 has ltcf 1 doesn't
I found an interesting exception though. One I had missed before and this is slightly off the subject at hand, too...
A person who is otherwise eligible to possess a valid license under this chapter but carries a firearm in any vehicle or any person who carries a firearm concealed on or about his person, except in his place of abode or fixed place of business, without a valid and lawfully issued license and has not committed any other criminal violation commits a misdemeanor of the first degree.
Listed below are exceptions as outlined in 18 Pa.C.S. § 6106. (2) (b) Exceptions:
13) Any person who is otherwise eligible to possess a firearm under this chapter and who is operating a motor vehicle which is registered in the person's name or the name of a spouse or parent and which contains a firearm for which a valid license has been issued pursuant to section 6109 to the spouse or parent owning the firearm.
Would this mean I can 'leave' a firearm in my auto for my wife's defense as long as she does not conceal carry it? (This would go for parent, spouse or children apparently.)
And per the paragraph before, what is the punishment for a first degree misdemeanor? It seems to state a lessor violation if you would have qualified for a permit anyway; that you just did not do it properly.
