Am I able to purchase a gun in PA if I own a second home in PA (not PA resident however), and I have a non-resident Florida CCW license only??

Having or not having a Florida CCW license or a even PA License to carry firearms (LTCF) does not matter in regards to purchasing.

From the BATFE site:

(B12) May a person (who is not an alien) who resides in one State and owns property in another State purchase a handgun in either State?

If a person maintains a home in 2 States and resides in both States for certain periods of the year, he or she may, during the period of time the person actually resides in a particular State, purchase a handgun in that State. However, simply owning property in another State does not qualify the person to purchase a handgun in that State.

This just about says it all from the BATFE point of view. You prove to the FFL that you reside in PA by providing additional documentation (such as a tax document issued by PA showing the PA residence address)
