    Default Carry between residences

    My brother lives in PA and has a vacation home on private land owned by him in PA. What is the law pertaining to transporting a firearm between them? He had a LTCF and let it lapse. (One of those people who is always too busy to take care of such things.)
    The question is, will you be on your feet or your knees?

    Transport all you want, as long as the firearms are in the trunk and ammo separate and go directly to and from.

    Correct me if I'm wrong. Get the license asap.

    Why not just renew LTCF? Bogey1 is correct, though.

    Nothing has to be in a trunk. The only requirement is that they not be *loaded* as per the definition;

    *Loaded." A firearm is loaded if the firing chamber, the nondetachable magazine or, in the case of a revolver, any of the chambers of the cylinder contain ammunition capable of being fired. In the case of a firearm which utilizes a detachable magazine, the term shall mean a magazine suitable for use in said firearm which magazine contains such ammunition and has been inserted in the firearm or is in the same container or, where the container has multiple compartments, the same compartment thereof as the firearm. If the magazine is inserted into a pouch, holder, holster or other protective device that provides for a complete and secure enclosure of the ammunition, then the pouch, holder, holster or other protective device shall be deemed to be a separate compartment.

    Among the exceptions to carry in a car without a ltcf in Pa.

    "Firearms" also have to be securely wrapped.
