    Default legality of owning a shotgun in Philadelphia?

    Hi, folks. First post. Could someone enlighten me about the legality of owning a shotgun in Philadelphia? I assume a license is required?

    Thanks.

    This isn't New York City...

    No license is required to own a handgun, rifle or shotgun anywhere in Pennsylvania.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Knight is right. No license is required for PA residents, just walk into a gun shop, pick one out and buy it. You will need to pass a criminal/mental history background check though. That should only take a few minutes though.
