AG Kane closes "Florida Loophole"

[tl_3237]

Is a non resident Utah ltcf still good, this is the one I have, I'm not a resident of pa or Utah

Since Utah is granted statutory reciprocity (Category 2 - not under a written reciprocity agreement), all UTAH licenses as still recognized in Pa regardless of state of residence (at least for now).

I don't understand the Utah thing either. What is the Utah thing?

Thanks tl 3237, so basically if you have a category 1 license you must be a resident of the category 1 state, or is it just with Florida

Just looked up the statute.


Entire statute trimmed to pertinent bit.


This also brings about its own interesting loophole, you can still technically carry in Philadelphia under a nonresident FL license, as long as you're on a bicycle and not on foot.

What about 6108?

Dirty fucking ****. Bitch smelled blood. Even PA is no longer safe from these insane unconstitutional laws.

[LBaker]

So now we push hard for constitutional carry. Time to take the ball out of her court...

What interests me is this.

Many of the permit holders previously were denied carry privileges by Philadelphia Police, which has that discretion under state law.

I'm pretty sure Philadelphia is still part of Pennsylvania. And I'm pretty sure Pennsylvania is a Shall Issue state. But this quote reads like, somehow, Philly is legally May Issue while the rest of the state is Shall Issue.

Or does the idiot writing this article have no idea what PA's laws are?

Good question, it depends on how you'd define "upon." Not sure if that applies to people in vehicles or not.

No person shall carry a firearm, rifle or shotgun at any time upon the public streets or upon any public property in a city of the first class unless:
(1) such person is licensed to carry a firearm; or
(2) such person is exempt from licensing under section 6106 of this title (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license).

Philadelphia PD is notoriously corrupt when it comes to LTCF issuance. They have illegal, nonstatutory requirements for application, and reject people as often as possible. It can take thousands of dollars in attorney fees to get them to issue "by the book."

Well if you're carrying on only a non resident Florida you have until June 8th till it takes affect
