Philadelphia Police Commissioner's "suggestions" re: PA LTCF
I did a search to see if there was any previous discussion on this topic, but came up empty. Admittedly, my search-fu is weak, so if I'm mentioning something that can be found in another thread, I'll take it there.
I had suggested to someone recently that they consider obtaining a PA LTCF, and I was browsing the Philadelphia Police Department's website to see if there were any procedures or questions on the application that had been updated or changed since I had most recently completed it in early 2008. I came across a document titled "Instructions and Restrictions Upon Receipt of Permit" (linked here at the PPD website as a PDF.)
I recall receiving a version of this document when I was issued my LTCF, but never noticed some of the bulleted points until now. For example:(Emphasis not mine.)
- "IMPORTANT: When in contact with a law enforcement officer, follow all instructions given...You MUST inform the officer IMMEDIATELY, that you are armed and possess a valid permit to carry. Then follow the officer’s instructions explicitly."
- "When carrying your firearm you MUST also have your License to Carry, failure to do so can result in arrest for violation of Pennsylvania Crime Code 6122 and revocation of your License to Carry."
- "Under no Circumstance should you store your weapon in a vehicle (trunk or otherwise). If your weapon is lost or stolen because of the weapon being left in a vehicle, this will result in the immediate revocation of your license to carry."
It sounds to me as if Charles Ramsey, the Philadelphia Police Commissioner, needs some education. Of particular note to me is the 3rd point regarding "weapons" stolen from a vehicle resulting in revocation of a PA LTCF. Do any of our resident lawyers know if this has any legal basis? It's the first I've heard of it.

18 Pa.C.S. § 6108: Carrying firearms on public streets or public property in Philadelphia
No person shall carry a firearm, rifle or shotgun at any time upon the public streets or upon any public property in a city of the first class unless:
(1) such person is licensed to carry a firearm; or
(2) such person is exempt from licensing under section 6106 of this title (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license).
In Philly, you need a license to carry firearms whether you are O.C. or C.C. when in public.It is you. You have all the weapons that you need. Now fight. --Sucker Punch
