Is my Philadelphia LTCF good everywhere in PA?

[ALPAPS]

Hey guy’s happy new year’s and best wishes & blessings to everyone. I live in Philadelphia and have a license to carry firearms…this is going to be a stupid question but I always like to double check on everything. I got my permit from the Philadelphia Police here in Philadelphia (gun permits unit) spring garden street. Is my permit good everywhere in the state of PA?

like If I wanted to go to the the mountains 4 hours from Philly and relax in a cabin could I carry my trusty GLOCK19 9mm with me? And also what states honor the Philadelphia License to carry firearms permit? I’m aware that New Jersey doesn’t and New York doesn’t. I don’t need a gun permit from say all the cities and counties in PA to carry in them if I just have my current Philadelphia LTCF?

P.S I was going to call the state police and other police agencies to find out but instead I thought id wait for responses from my trusty fellow gun owners and carriers on this site

click on PA thats where you have your LTCF and click residential all states in green honor our permit

[lildobe]

Yes, your permit is good anywhere in Pa, as well as in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Of course, you ahve to follow the laws of those states if you carry there... but it's good for a lot more then jsut the city of Philly.

[PisnNapalm]

It's a Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms, not a Phildelphia license.

[Lazydog]

Is Philly still giving people a hard time about getting a LTCF?

[Pa. Patriot]

Welcome to the board! I recommend reading the "stickied" threads at the top of this forum for more info on LTCF's and carry.

[ALPAPS]

Nah Philly is just a pain in the azz… takes about 6 weeks to get it and now they uped the price. Before it was 19 now 25 and everyone who got it before had to cough up a 6 dollar money order before the end of this month..haha I love our great city of PHILADELPHIA

[Lazydog]

Yeah, I heard about this.
Welcome to the forum.

[ALPAPS]

thanks dude PHILADELPHIA #1 CITY in the world

Your LTCF is valid anywhere in PA. Below is a list of other states reprocity or lack thereof with PA

Categories of Firearms Reciprocity

Under Pennsylvania law, there are six categories of firearms reciprocity status.

Category 1: States that have entered into written reciprocity agreements with Pennsylvania. (Title 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6109(k))

The following states have entered into formal written reciprocity agreements with Pennsylvania under section 6109(k) of the Uniform Firearms Act. These agreements provide for reciprocal recognition of valid licenses/permits issued by both states. Recognition in Pennsylvania is based on the individual's issuance of a valid license/permit by the reciprocal contracting state, and not on the license/permit holder's place of residence.

*
