    Default LTCF needed on public transportation?

    I've been having a discussion with a friend and he insists you don't need a LTCF aboard public transportation such as a city bus or taxi. I've looked in 6106(b) and can not find an exception there.

    Anyone know of one?

    You need one on a riding lawn mower or a horse or a bicycle for heaven's sake.

    It doesn't matter if the cab, bus, or train is yours or someone elses, you need an LTCF in or on a vehicle.
    If you don't know who your state legislators are go here:

    I would not wager my future on successfully arguing that a bus, taxi, or train is not a "vehicle".

    Maybe to and from a gunsmith, following rules of transporting?

    Yup, since it was made clear to me that I'd need one even for my go-kart.

    6106. (a) (1) ... any person who carries a firearm IN ANY VEHICLE or ...



    While there are exceptions that include distinct reasons, there are no exceptions for types of vehicles.

    Wish your friend luck, ... and give him a dollar, for his legal fund.

    Thanks every one I did not think his info was correct, but I thought I'd check here also.

    There are several types of trips which are their own exception to § 6106, so no license is required, but for none of them is it an accurate statement that "you don't need a LTCF aboard public transportation." Public transportation has nothing to do with it.

    Just a minor point - The definition for s.6106's 'vehicle' is given in:

    1 Pa CS 1991

    "Vehicle." A conveyance in or on which persons or property may be carried.
    The s.501 definitions are for chapter 5 (Justifications) only.
