Quick Question from Philly Newbie
Hello Everyone,
As mentioned in the title I'm new to the area and I have a question about transporting firearms (handguns & Rifles ) in the city. I'm originally from NC and I have a Utah Carry permit . I want to know what the laws are on transporting my firearms to and from a range. While i dont intend on carrying in the city for now i do go to the range a bit (about once a week) & reading here it seems like I may need a carry PA permit to have the firearms in my car. Is this true? Will my Utah permit be enough?
I would appreciate any clarity on the issue.
Thanks ,
Wallo

Re: Quick Question from Philly Newbie
If you live in PA now, you can transport to and from the range unloaded in the trunk..provided you don't stop for fuel/food/anything. If you have a license from any other state you can transport loaded handguns (not long guns, I believe those must stay unloaded in the trunk) on your person.
IANAL, just trying to help.
There are some great stickies to read and this has been addressed in other posts here (if you can find them).

Re: Quick Question from Philly Newbie
From 6106 exceptions:
(11) Any person while carrying a firearm in any vehicle, which person possesses a valid and lawfully issued license for that firearm which has been issued under the laws of the United States or any other state.
You have a Utah permit. Good there
YOU CAN'T conceal outside of of a vehicle but you could OC (except Philly).
Edit: If Utah permit has reciprocity with PA, he can carry CC
So.... Drive around with a loaded firearm? Good

Re: Quick Question from Philly Newbie
Yeah, I guess I glazed over his Utah permit..and I wasn't aware being a PA resident meant nothing. I'm not sure why I thought it did.
He'd have to have firearms unloaded and in the truck and only when transporting to/from point of sale/range/gunsmith without the Utah (or any other states) permit, I believe...that's what I was trying to say.

Re: Quick Question from Philly Newbie
Your wording is off... Travel to/from range is an exception for someone without a permit.
It is illegal to carry a firearm in a vehicle in PA (loaded or unloaded) unless you have a permit from any state or you meet an exception
Take out the "in the trunk" part. The gun can be anywhereLast edited by BimmerJon; August 23rd, 2013 at 12:56 AM.
