    Surprised that there is not a local ordinance against discharging a firearm? Or maybe their is and they decided not to charge you?

    To be honest I'm planning on moving out of state real soon, but it'd be nice to just have it until then. I could still carry through the "transportation to firing range" loophole, but whatever... I just like to have that extra measure of licensure so that I don't have to, you know?

    No ordinance. I checked beforehand and when I was arrested, the police officer asked exactly the precise location of where I was so they could check.

    No such "loophole" exists.

    Ok, let's be nice.

    New member made a mistake and needs answers, and may not know the exact wording of the law.

    This is where a 5 gallon bucket and a bag of kitty litter come in real handy if you have a basement or a garage.

    I don't know the legality of your or the polices actions to offer any advise.

    Good Luck.

    Ok, let me get this straight. You went out "in the woods" in Philadelphia and intentionally discharged a handgun. You did it in such a way that somehow the police were able to be led directly back to you. Furthermore, you admitted it to the police and even provided evidence.

    Not to pile on, but, um, I would be surprised if you will be seeing your LTCF ever again. I also think you are lucky not to be charged. I would even consider the fact that you can recover your weapon gracious on PPD's part.

    I would think there are smarter ways to test fire a handgun - shooting range, a car ride outside philly, etc.

    I could only recommend getting a lawyer but I think you are pretty lucky not to be charged with a crime and getting your gun back, so you might want to just cut your losses.

I do have my license to carry firearms.

    They confiscated my pistol AND my license (stated it was police procedure). After investigating, the police stated that they decided not to file charges. They told me that I could just file a motion to have my pistol and the casing returned to me. When I asked to have my license returned to me, I was told that the gun permits unit would reach out to me... This kind of worries me.

    My question is this: could my license to carry firearms be revoked, despite not being charged with an offense?

    I briefly spoke with an attorney; the attorney says that revoking my license to carry could be a possibility, but the likelihood of it would be "unfounded," seeing as how I don't have a previous arrest or criminal record AND I was not charged with a crime.

    Has anyone had any similar experiences? Thanks in advance for any response or advice.

    Lawyer.

    That is all.
