    Default Long gun question

    Hey all, if I wanted to bring a semi auto rifle to property I rent in Philly which I got through a FFL in NY which is my permanent residence would it be against any law to have here in PA? I did my reading and didn’t see any laws against it yet but wanted to check with more experienced folks before I thought of bringing it.

    Transport unloaded and in a case not in the passenger compartment and separate from any ammo That should be the rule in NY also, is it not?

    Yes but is there an issue with me being a New York resident living in a rented place in Philly with my rifle that I got in NY?

    It is a requirement somewhere in PA law that you must own a gun.

    I believe you are required to get a sticker that says 'Because Constitution'.

    I will always vote to defend our basic rights, I am a part of the PA rifle and pistol association. Sorry I get a little serious when stressed! I did chuckle at the ball busting. I really appreciate it all.
