Philadelphia LTCF question.

[Pattyclaire]

Question, I have a LTCF. My husband is going to apply for one this week. I have a Security 9 registered to me, he has NO HANDGUNS registered to him, can he carry my Ruger? Or do I need to transfer it to him? We are legally married, living in the same house.

The short version is there is no firearms registry in Pennsylvania.
And you can loan any person who has a LTCF your firearm.

Yes, you can lend a handgun to another PA resident who has a current PA LTCF.

You can also lend or rent anything to any non-prohibited person as long as you stay right there and maintain custody and control; you can let your buddy shoot your handgun at the range, but you have to stay in the immediate vicinity. You can't let them keep shooting while you run out for some beer.

Long guns are not controlled with respect to transfers between non-prohibited PA residents.

Philly is required to follow the same laws as the rest of the Commonwealth. The courts have reminded them of that.


Also, welcome to the forum. Don't be a stranger.

Yeah I know! But your not allowed to open carry in Philly. I know it’s stated you can, but the cops can be dicks! Philly doesn’t want to give us permits but they are required by State law to! This city is totally against it technically!

Convince your friends, family and neighbors to stop voting for people that only want to make you their servants.

You can open Carry in Philly, and if you hand out with us cool Kids in the Open Carry section of the forum (we have cookies, we are prettier, and are just better conversationalists), you'll see that Philly's tolerace of open carry has changed. Why, the very top thread there RIGHT HIS MINUTE is ett riding around on his motorcycle in front of God and everyone with his M&P on his hip. No. Big. Deal.

As to them being dicks....it isn't like they can stop you for open carrying.

Philly is run by Democrats , and as the Democrats have been so fond of saying lately ''The Law is the Law!''

I’ve never had any problems with my renewal or the times I’ve opened carried in Philly. I know individual circumstances will vary but it’s not as bad as it used to be or as some other make it out to be.
