Long gun question

Welcome to the site. I know that you mentioned long guns but be aware that Philly has it's own rules on handguns (if you decide to carry one with a LCTF).

We all get stressed at times.
Please make sure you transport your rifle correctly while traveling.
If you are living in Philadelphia itself for school or whatever, then best to transport the rifle case in a generic duffel bag to avoid being targeted for theft.

Why not in the passenger compartment? That is a FOPA requirement for *interstate* travel and is not a legal necessity for the scenario(s) described by the OP.

Sometimes it is easier just to follow one set of rules and since it is Philly being conservative does not hurt.
