Gun in vehicle in PA question
I’m sure this topic has been covered before but I’d appreciate some input on this. Concerning the carrying of a handgun in a vehicle while in PA. The gun in question has a barrel length of 12” and overall length of 29”. Can this gun be carried in a vehicle while loaded with a LTCF? From my understanding of PA law this particular gun is not a firearm nor is it a long gun. Thanks for any help on this.

Re: Gun in vehicle in PA question
Even though the OAL is 29", the barrel length is less than 15" - so it is a "firearm", which requires a LTCF to merely have it in/on a vehicle, however you can also have it loaded.
§ 6102. Definitions.
"Firearm." Any pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 15 inches, any shotgun with a barrel length less than 18 inches or any rifle with a barrel length less than 16 inches, or any pistol, revolver, rifle or shotgun with an overall length of less than 26 inches. The barrel length of a firearm shall be determined by measuring from the muzzle of the barrel to the face of the closed action, bolt or cylinder, whichever is applicable.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Thank you, I was a bit confused on barrel length and over all length. I was interpreting it as it had to meet both.
