I'm not gonna address the legalities of carrying a BB gun.. but a bbgun will only piss off anything bigger than a rabbit. If anything, it will look pretty foolish if/when some LEO does stop you - which will look real good(note sarcasm) when you try to sign up with the PSP.

If you're gonna carry something, carry a real gun. If you're gonna conceal a real gun or take it in a vehicle - get a license.

The only thing carrying a BB gun around with you will accomplish is getting you killed by someone mistaking it for a real gun. Not a good idea.

seriously? is my first question. second off.. if your 22 get your LTCF invest in some good resources/self defense training and carry a real pistol. If you are involved in an incident where you will need to protect yourself, Putting an eye out is your best bet with a bb gun. and thats just going to piss off your assailant even more. just my 2 cents

well in Berks county i know its $25, but i do believe thats the same all over PA. Valid for 5 years. I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading up on the laws for using that weapon before you carry.
You can apply for one at your local courthouse or PD (i believe, ours is in the same building sooo....).

LOL...
I heard of young punks carrying BB guns when I was a kid. A kid down the street shot me with it in the neck an I got angry as hell. Just left a welt an a blood blister. I speered him an rumbled him on the ground for awhile. I was only like 15...

I would say you cannot carry a BB gun on you concealed without a LTCF. LTCF = concealed weapon permit. An since BB guns are a " Weapon ", I would not. An I would not carry a BB gun anyway other then in the back yard to shoot some targets lol. Or when I am playing airsoft with some friends. Why wouldnt you just carry a knife?, it would defend you alot more in the long run.


Though a kid I used to call my friend, had a airsoft gun in his car when he got stopped for something an the LEO took it an had to go to court. I dont remember what they charged him for it was years an years ago. An it was my airsoft gun I left at his house because we used to play airsoft in the woods behind his house... But thats besides the point.

Even if you could, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO?
