Do Pennsylvania State Police have database of CCW holders for traffic stops.

I just saw this posted on another gun forum. I have never heard of this. Does anybody here have any insight to the veracity of this information?

Yes, and it has been discussed here in a couple of threads. The database always existed, but had to be queried seperately. Now it comes back when your drivers liscense is queried, which is probably about 99% of traffic stops.

I am curious how this might complicate declining to answer whether there is a gun in the car during a traffic stop. Might they now be able to claim that, knowing the driver of the vehicle holds a LTCF, the driver was evasive during questioning as to whether a gun was present, allowing them to escalate the nature of the stop?

That is what is going to make this a very interesting issue in the next few months/years. I expect a whole bunch more folks are going to end up proned out when they pull the whole "I dont have anything illegal in my car" line, and im also pretty sure there are going to be a whole bunch more "Do you have a firearm in the vehicle" questions on the side of the road.

Somehow I have avioded that question to date despite being pulled over with some regularity. I fear those days are now behind us. I just hope whoever is on the shitty end of that stick has enough coin to defend it for the long haul.

Now the big question is,,,Are they sharing this information with other states?
They probably are!
I read somewhere else or maybe here that was an issue especially for states that don't recognize our LTCF, Maryland and Jersey come to mind of course and are they now going to be arbitrarily checking PA license plates?

I don't believe the LTCF info would be returned on a Vehicle Registration lookup.

Well, it's probably illegal to use gun sales as a registry also, but guess what.
