    Default Pennsylvania CCW Laws

    I am attending the graduation of my youngest from a small private college in Pennsylvania.
    I have reviewed a couple of PA websites:
    http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/pennsylvania.pdf

    http://www.acslpa.org/pa_uniform_firearms_act.htm

    http://www.portal.state.pa.us/...evel=2&css=L2&mode=2

    And I have come to the conclusion that I can carry on a University /College campus but NOT in Primary/Secondary (K – 12) schools. Does this match your understanding?

    I did not find any reference to the PA policy on areas that have been posted with no firearms allowed. Here in Colorado these signs carry no legal weight but if the owner/manager asks you to leave you must or be charged with trespassing; what is the PA policy on this?

    I think that's right, but they will likely ask you to leave if they find out.

    I've never heard of anyone being arrested for trespass because of a sign. But to avoid being the first, if you are asked to leave do so immediately and do not start arguing about the signs having no legal weight.

    The much quoted post by our resident legal expert is here

    This explains schools, signs, private property.
