Liberty Bell / Philly

[saltz1979]

I am planning a day trip to see some places of interest in Philly. I have a PA CCW permit. Is Independence Hall / Liberty Bell area a Federal site or is it private? The reason being is can I carry in these areas?

I'll let the other folks correct you about the "CCW" (lord knows at least 5 will do it).

Make sure you carry extra "clips" as I hear Philly is a dangerous place

I am planning a day trip to see some places of interest in Philly. I have a PA CCW permit. LICENSE TO CARRY FIREARMS. WE IN PENNSYLVANIA ARE LICENSED, NOT PERMITTED. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE. REALLY. REALLY THERE IS. DON'T ASK ME WHAT THOUGH. Is Independence Hall / Liberty Bell area a Federal site or is it private? FEDERAL. THE LIBERTY BELL AND INDEPENDANCE HALL ARE INTEGRAL PARTS OF AMERICAN HISTORY, NOT JUST PHILADELPHIAN HISTORY.The reason being is can I carry in these areas?NO CARRY ON FEDERAL PROPERTY

Isn't that, like Valley Forge under the National Park (Dept of Interior) banner which would make it legal now to carry there due to the 'new' law fro National Parks

Thanks for the replies. I do understand what I am asking so all of you who like to reply in ALL CAPS AND RED, BLUE, OR WHATEVER just take it easy. This is a great forum and should be available for all law abiding citizens of not only the state of PA but for our other citizens in other states.

For the record, the reason I put mine in red caps, is simple: my reply was INSIDE your quote and I did that to stand my answers out. Was nothing against your question at all. I am not one of the folks here he get all worked up when someone asks a question that has been answer a million times or calls a LTCF a permit (I honestly could careless what you call it). Heck if folks didn't ask questions over and over, we'd have nothing to talk about

Yep this is a good forum and should be available to all (actually it is, we have many from other states here).

The difference between a license and a permit is that a permit is special dispensation to perform a generally prhibited activity. Where as a license indicates that you are qualified to perform a non prohibited activity.

In other words in New York and New Jersey where no one is allowed to carry a few select special individuals with enough money and connections may be permitted to.

In Pennsylvania where everyone not prohibited has a right to carry firearms a license indicates that you are qualified to do so concealed, in a vehicle, in a city of the first class, and during a declared state of emergency. You can also be loaned a firearm.
