No. The maintenance of a sales database in PA is not "registration".

The answer is NO.

There is no registration of guns in PA. Although, since handguns have to be transfered through FFLs except for some from immediate family (or moving in from out of state, plus many other exceptions), and these transfers are reported to State Police, the State Police sometimes thinks they should be able to find the owner in their database.

Further, to carry concealed, you need a License to Carry Firearms. And this license allows you to borrow handguns from other people.

Also, anyone can lend a Firearm to a person who posesses a License to Carry Firearms.
