oc and car carry

[NOBODY]

I am up for OC but it is my understanding you need a permit to carry in your car. AS PA does not recognize other states permits
for CC. On MD shooters someone said any permit issued to you from any state is OK for car carry. IS this true?

Thanks

If you live in pa you need a pa LTCF to carry in your car. If you are out of state and have you cc or LTCF from your home state that has resoprocity (however its spelled) with pa your good to go.

I think this may be on point.

(2) A person who is otherwise eligible to possess a valid license under this chapter but carries a firearm in any vehicle or any person who carries a firearm concealed on or about his person, except in his place of abode or fixed place of business, without a valid and lawfully issued license and has not committed any other criminal violation commits a misdemeanor of the first degree.

18 PA C.S. 6106 (b)(11) is what he the OP needs. Rep sent for knowing, finding, and posting the statute (and I quoted the wrong one in the rep comment!)

While what you posted is true, there are also other ways.

If you are not a PA resident, a carry license/permit from any of the 50 states covers you in a vehicle. And it doesn't matter whether the permit is from your state or non-resident.

Does not apply to Philly.

I would keep a low profile and carry a printout of that section of the law. But I would carry.

Not a lawyer.

Quoted (and bolded) for emphasis, thanks for adding that.

What's the case/statute supporting the bolded section? Thanks.

Basically it's 18 PA C.S. 6106. Since Philly requires licensing for OC as well as CC, reciprocity is also required, so the whole "license/permit from any state" goes out the window with Philly, and strict reciprocity must be followed.

Hopefully that wasn't too brief.

Where in sec. 6106? I did a brief read-through and didn't see anything about Philadelphia (or "city of the first class") in sec. 6106. Granted, my reading comp and eyesight isn't what it used to be...


BTW, sec. 6108 states the following:

§ 6108. Carrying firearms on public streets or public property in Philadelphia.
No person shall carry a firearm, rifle or shotgun at any time upon the public streets or upon any public property in a city of the first class unless:
(1) such person is licensed to carry a firearm; or
(2) such person is exempt from licensing under section 6106(b) of this title (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license).
