    Does 511 make trousers to accommodate it?

    Perhaps appendix carry with an IWB holster. With just the right angle you may attract some interest other than law enforcement. Especially when you tell them "it's a Shockwave".
    Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

    Imagine the looks if you carried it like that upside down.

    Hi all,
    I'm new to the group, hope it's OK to post this question here about the Mossberg Shockwave 590.
    I'm a frequent visitor to PA (considering buying a property for retirement).
    I'd like to find out the rules for bringing a Shockwave 590 into PA as a visitor.
    It's legally registered in NJ where I currently live.
    I noticed for PA residents you have to get a form from the PA State Police?
    So I'm wondering as a visitor if I need to also file paperwork first before bringing it to PA.
    Thanks,
    Darrell N

    PSP only registers handguns bought in PA.

    The PSP considers it a "firearm" so same rules apply as pistol. You need to either have a pa license to carry or reciprocal permit to carry it. You can transport it unloaded and cased to any of the exempted places, so range, shop, place of residence or business.

    You mean if you don't have the PA LTCF or reciprocity, right?

    Correct, if you have a LTCF or Reciprocal permit, you can keep it loaded in a vehicle or carry however you like.
