Active Military CCW permit
I have a question about CCW. I am a resident of PA, In order to get my CCW permit i have to be 21 (which i am 18). I am currently stationed in Florida where I can get my CCW permit at 18 because i am in the active army. Will PA honor my CCW permit even though i am 18? Thank you! And does the pistol have to be in my name (gifted from father)? Thanks again!

Nope, still need to be 21.
You live in the barracks? Where do you plan on keeping this pistol? Aware that you cant carry in uniform or on post?
Now, go beat your face.Last edited by Thursday; November 13th, 2012 at 07:31 PM.

Re: Active Military CCW permit
If Florida allows a CCW issued at 18 and PA has reciprocity, you are good to go. A gifted pistol from your father is a legal transfer, again, good to go.
Enjoy your New RIGHT as a legal adult.
Thank you for serving,

According to www.handgunlaw.us, Florida will issue to service members under 21.

Re: Active Military CCW permit

Re: Active Military CCW permit
Yes, Florida's CWP is valid in PA.
The age to possess a handgun is 18 in PA, the age to be eligible for a PA LTCF is 21. PA doesn't set an age to conceal directly, ...only indirectly by the age of possession and the age to get a LTCF. PA even issues a Sportsman Permit to those who are 18yo or older to CONCEAL while participating in hunting/fishing/trapping/dog training.
If you have a FL permit, and you are at least 18 - then you will be legal.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: Active Military CCW permit
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't being on active military duty an exception of the Pa carry law. In other words, permitted in Pa by an active duty service member. Same as a police officer being exempt from the licensing requirement.
Check the law, I really believe I read that in the Pa Code.
Check before doing.Last edited by John-Pa; November 19th, 2012 at 05:58 PM.

Re: Active Military CCW permit
Only when on duty.
18 Pa.C.S. § 6106: Firearms not to be carried without a license
...
(b) Exceptions.--The provisions of subsection (a) shall not apply to:
...
(2) Members of the army, navy, marine corps, air force or coast guard of the United States or of the National Guard or organized reserves when on duty.
...
On what do you base that?I am not a lawyer. Nothing I say or write is legal advice.

Re: Active Military CCW permit
As twency mentioned - when on duty. Just being in the military isn't "on duty". On duty would be like the MP's escorting military personnel or contractor, of being placed on post to guard some location, or traveling in caravan/convoy, or participating in practices, etc, etc. Military personnel do have "off hours", which then the "on duty" exemption wouldn't cover.
