    Note: I am not a lawyer.

    First question: No, you don't need a permit to go to the shooting range with your own weapon.

    Read this thread for more information. Without a license to carry, you basically can only go to and from the range (no stops at WaWa!) and the gun has to be empty and in a locked container that is not accessible to the passenger compartment.

    You get your LTCF from your county's sheriff department. A LTCF allows you to do a lot of things that make life easier for you if you plan on carrying/going to the range a lot.

    Here's the "Gun Permit" information page for Philadelphia:
