CC a Rifle?

[PA86]

No, I'm not trying to actually carry a rifle, just picked up a carbine and wanted to walk it over to a buddies place for shits and giggles. Can someone fill me in on the legality of this?

Search engine on vbulletin sucks.

Thanks!

i THINK you could leagally open carry it if it is unloaded.

I'm puzzled by the "CC" in the title. Could you actually conceal a rifle, and still walk around? Even with a folding/collapsible stock, that could be difficult.

(Someone is going to post pictures of them concealing a rifle now.)

As far as I know, you may open carry or conceal carry a rifle loaded or unloaded with no license. No loaded rifles are allowed in cars though, they must be unloaded with ammo separate.

If you're just walking over to a buddy's place, put it in a case unloaded, with ammo in a separate container, and go on out!

I'm no lawyer, but that seemed reasonable. I know it's different, but I have done that with an air rifle in Pittsburgh, and never had a problem.

Do you think I didn't already try tucking it in my waistband and piroutting in the mirror like a giddy schoolgirl going to prom?

Where's the fun in that?

Long guns:

Outside of Philly, a person does not need a license to carry a loaded/unloaded rifle or shotgun on their person openly or concealed - except during a declared state of emergency. In a City of the First Class(Philthy), you need a license.

At no time may a loaded long gun be transported in a vehicle. Loaded meaning with ammo in the chamber(s) or fixed magazine. For guns using detachable magazines, the loaded magazine must be in a separate container. Loose(including boxed) ammo may be in same compartment, on the gun, or where ever as the gun.

HOWEVER, dont be surprised if an LEO stops to see what is going on, and dont be surprised again that the LEO doesn't know the law.

i mean if you have a license to carry firearms, isn't it just that? a license to carry firearms? it doesn't specify if it has to be a pistol or not.
was thinking of getting one of these for when i have to go into bad parts of philly.


just kidding by the way...

A firearm is defined as the following for most portions of the UFA;

"Firearm." Any pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 15 inches, any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches or any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches, or any pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun with an overall length of less than 26 inches. The barrel length of a firearm shall be determined by measuring from the muzzle of the barrel to the face of the closed action, bolt or cylinder, whichever is applicable.

Best advice in here. Props knight.
