I realize this raises some questions about how to get one's firearm from the car to the baggage check point. Obviously, if the weapon is in a case in one's luggage, it is not a problem. I base this opinion upon the fact it happens every day, with full knowledge of police, TSA and airline officials, and it is not an issue. I have not, however, seen any statutory exception for transport in a suitcase.
Carrying on one's person, however, is illegal.

Their ordinance is an illegal one. It means nothing. PA has a law on the books that states no city, town, borough or municipality can make their own laws. There is a thread on GT about a township somewhere in PA that passed a similar ordinance.
Many people complained about the ordinance and after speaking with their legal rep, they were informed the ordinance could not be enforced, so it was dropped.
