Can my girlfriend carry one of my guns?

[Ja86son]

Hey, my girlfriend just got her LTCF a week ago(some minor corruption on my part) and i was wondering if she could carry one of my pistols legally if she wanted to. Most of the time she would be around me while carrying. We both live at the same adress, if that matters. But I think i may have just lost my LCP if shes allowed to carry it. haha She wants to go gun browsing tonight though so we'll see. maybe we can find a decent 9mm, i got lots of ammo for that to take her shooting... thanks for the help!!

I believe she can since she has her LTCF. I'm sure someone can post the citation to the code where it verifies that.

She is now legal to carry your guns. However be aware some officers would like to run firearms through their illegal sales database and hassle people who are not the registered owners of the firearms. It is however a License to carry Firearms says nothing about how many or ownership there.

i dunno man, you might have to post some pics of her wearing your guns so we can all decide as a group if your guns are good enough for her or not...

Yes you can loan your firearm to your LTCF carrying GF.

It's been my experience that any girl that wants to handle my guns has to be hot. Smokin hot. Pics would really help with this thread.

A Charlies' Angels bikini shot with the LCP would be great. Finger off the trigger of course.

So, its legal. Thanks you guys. As for the pics, i dunno once its on the internet its there, And theres always that smart ass out there that has somethin stupid to say so shes not all about that. But ya its freakin hot, thats all i got to say about that. But she likes carrying it clipped in the waistband of her jeans, would have been a nice pic though. And maybe an LCP is in order for her or the slightly less good looking(in my mind) Kel-tec.

This is from the Pennsylvania State Police Website www.psp.state.pa.us click on firearms division for more information. I think its perfectly legal for her to carry one of your guns. There is nothing here that says you can't. This is a direct quote from the firearms page.


<Who can apply for a Pennsylvania License to Carry?

An individual who is 21 years of age or older may apply for a license to carry firearms by submitting a completed Application for a Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms to the sheriff of the county in which they reside or if a resident of a city of the first class, with the chief of police of that city along with the required fee.

Individuals who are 21 years of age or older and are NOT Pennsylvania residents may apply for a license by submitting a completed Application for a Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms to any Pennsylvania County Sheriff’s office along with the required fee. A Pennsylvania license cannot be issued to a resident of another state who does not possess a current license or permit or similar document to carry a firearm issued by their home state if a license is provided for by the laws of that state, as published annually in the Federal Register by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms of the Department of the Treasury.

The sheriff has 45 days to conduct an investigation to determine an individual's eligibility to be issued a license. Included in the investigation is a background check conducted on the individual through the Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS) to determine if the records indicate the individual is prohibited by law. In accordance with 18 PA C.S. §6109, a sheriff may deny an individual the right to a License to Carry Firearms if there is reason to believe that the character and reputation of the individual are such that they would be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety.

If the PICS check is approved and the subject is of good character, the sheriff may issue a License to Carry Firearms. The issuance of a License to Carry Firearms allows individuals to carry a firearm concealed on or about their person, or in a vehicle throughout this Commonwealth. The license is valid for a period of five (5) years unless sooner revoked.

NOTE: A license to carry firearms is NOT a license to purchase. Individuals who purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer are required to have a background check conducted regardless of whether they have a license to carry firearms or not.>
