    You can't transport a handgun in a vehicle without a license to carry. (Except for certain narrow exceptions, none of which is "so I can open carry at work.") How are you going to get to the job site?
    Besides the legal considerations, what does your uncle think? What if his customers have objections?

    I like the way you think though and it's good to see young folks who are not brainwashed by the left. You'll just have to wait 'til you turn 21 and get your LTCF. Keep yourself out of trouble and get it right away when you're eligible. In the meantime, welcome to PAFOA, hang around and gather the knowledge you'll need to own and carry responsibly.

    Keep in mind your employer has the right to not allow it and the homeowner is private property so they may say no to you also.

    And dont forget that you can't open carry without a license if we are in a state of emergency. Or in Philly as it's a city of the first class.

    Since you are too young to get a LTCF, you should get yourself some police issue pepper spray.
    I recommend Fox Labs cone spray with the flip up top: https://shop.foxlabs.com/collections...-spray-pattern

    Having a firearm will not guarantee that you will be able to protect anything, it just gives you a fighting chance when the situation would justify its use.
