    Default Philly Airport and CC

    Wondering if there are any restrictions concerning just the dropping off/picking up of friends that will be using the philly airport. I will be pulling up in car. No need for me to even get out of vehicle to help with luggage.

    I CC about five times a year for the past four years while picking up or dropping off people. There is no prohibition. The prohibition starts when you are arriving in the secured areas. I have CC'd in baggage claim. Never had a problem. Of course if you properly conceal the gun no one will it so you won't get any trouble for that reason.

    However, I would never OC or have partially visible gun due to poor carry means. The pick up and drop off points are full of police both directing traffic and providing security. While Imwould like to think a LEO would not overreact to seeing a legal gun, I just have enough confidence in Philly's finest to ever let it happen.

    I open carry when I am at the airport. The Philadelphia PD have no say (although they may want to validate your LTCF and may try to pressure you into leaving if they see you carrying), and if you're carrying concealed and not even getting out of the car, you have nothing to worry about.

    Airports (pre-TSA security checkpoint) are not restricted in Pennsylvania. All other laws apply (i.e. if you're driving, you must have your LTCF of course).

    Interestingly, the majority of PHL is located in Delaware County.

    When I got in from Dallas a year ago, I retrieved my suitcase from BSO, knelt down next to the closest carousel, opened my bag, loaded my mags, loaded my 1911, and holstered up before calling for my ride.
