im goin to visit my gf's folks in bryn mawr and apparently bringing my shotgun is ok, what about handguns? im thinking of taking her family to a range thats not too far from them. first off if im licensed in ny can i shoot my handgun in PA? 2ndly can her family shoot my handguns there without a license bc here in nyc u cant even think of looking at a handgun without a license,
Your NY license will not allow you to CC while in PA, but does permit you to carry a loaded firearm while in a vehicle. You can legally open carry on foot, outside of Philadelphia, without any license, regardless of residency (unless you are prohibited from possessing firearms, which it appears is not an issue).
There is no licensing required to shoot a gun, so taking family members to the range presents no issues whatsoever (unless one of them is prohibited from possessing firearms).
To expand just a little bit more to avoid any chance of confusion, taking anybody to the range presents no issues whatsoever (unless otherwise prohibited by law).Quote:

In the free Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, there is no requirement for anyone to have any sort of firearms license at all at a shooting range (whether it's a real range or someplace off in the woods). Girlfriend, girlfriend's family, girlfriend's friends, etc., etc.
Welcome to Pennsylvania!
Absolutely correct. Thanks for adding the additional clarification.Quote:
