Concealed Carry Question
My friend and his wife, both PA residents, both have LTCF permits. He buys a firearm. Can she legally carry it? Does it somehow have to be in her name. IIRC there is not supposed to be registration in this state but I have heard of funny business by the State Police and Philadelphia as well.
Thanks
Stuart

Yes she can legally carry it. I purchased the pistol my wife carries every day. Apparently It was easier for her to liberate mine instead of going and buying her own.

Re: Concealed Carry Question
The answer is yes, but that does not mean an officer will not hassle her if he runs it and it does not show up in her name.
Of course there is no registration. But they work off a sales database.
I have seen this first hand. The husband was carrying the handgun and it was in the wife's name. The officer would only return it to the wife. This was at an open carry event.troll Free. It's all in your mind.

Re: Concealed Carry Question
Here’s another question based on your reply. None of my handguns were purchased in PA. All were bought when I was a resident of other states. Say a PSP officer runs one of my pistols. He isn’t going to find anything. Will he give it back to me as he won’t be able to determine who purchased it or when?

Re: Concealed Carry Question
Unfortunately that may happen, and it's complete BS.
There is no requirement to do anything with handguns that were purchased while you were a resident of a different state. Some people suggest paying the money to transfer your carry guns to an FFL, then back to yourself, to get them 'in the system' so you avoid any questions of ownership on the side of a road during a traffic stop. Honestly unless it were a relatively expensive firearm I wouldn't bother [In principle, I hate going 'above and beyond' an already existing infringement].
To your original question - yes your wife may carry your gun and vice versa since there's no transfer requirement between husband/wife, parent/child, or grandparent/grandchild. Again you may run into the same BS as described above.

Re: Concealed Carry Question
As a recent "return resident" to PA, after 31 years in DE, they would have a very difficult time ID'ing any of my CCW's.
As to them not returning any of them to me, trust me that lawyers would be involved immediately.
I also can't imagine how they could justify their actions, by not returning it to me.
