Carry Permit With You
I have looked around and have not found the answer to the question of whether you have to carry your issued carry permit with you, or if a photo on your phone will work? THX - Kevin

Maybe if you only have a picture of your gun with you.

His location is Philly.
He'd best have the LTCF on him considering they make their own rules there.
Might not hurt to have a note from his mom too.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Allegheny County has the sheriffs contact info on the back along with the statement that firearms are not permitted at airports and federal government facilities. As for carrying the card, in my wallet next my drivers license. I don't know if a photo of the license would work, don't care, I simply carry the card. I follow the principle of Occam's Razor, look to the simplest solution first.

Re: Carry Permit With You
Some relevant info for the thread & question at hand:
1. Philadelphia LTCF cards are issued with a "Dear Licensee: Congratulations!" letter signed by the police commissioner with some info and guidelines regarding carry responsibilities. In this letter, section 4 "Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms", the first sentence verbatim isOriginally Posted by Richard J. Ross, Jr., Police Commissioner, Philadelphia Police Department
2. I recently lost my LTCF card and went in to 660 E. Erie to apply for a replacement with the supporting incident number from my local district. I asked the officer who processed my request if I could carry with a copy of my original LTCF card, he said "No, you could get arrested."
Of course, the above does not tell us exactly what would happen if someone were stopped while carrying with only a photocopy of their LTCF card. Proceed at your own risk.

Re: Carry Permit With You
The law doesn't say you have to produce the license or a reasonable facsimile of the license. It says "the license"
In general I believe it is a good idea to have several copies in case your license is lost, but you should carry with your issued license.
6122. Proof of License and Exception.
(a) General rule.-When carrying a firearm concealed on or about one's person or in a ve¬hicle, an individual licensed to carry a firearm shall, upon lawful demand of a law enforcement officer, produce the license for inspection. Failure to provide such license, either at the time of arrest or at the preliminary hearing, shall create a rebuttable presumption of nonlicensure.
