Legal Question: What classifies a Firearm as a FireArm?
Would this be considered a FireArm like a Glock or Springfield according to the law?
Lets say someone allegedly was caught with it in their car without a LTCF

Re: Legal Question: What classifies a Firearm as a FireArm?
From Here:
http://cd.textfiles.com/group42/WEAPONS/LAWS/PA.HTM
Antiques
"Antique firearm" means:
1. Any firearm, including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap or similar type of ignition system, manufactured in or before 1898, and
2. Any replica of any firearm described in paragraph (1) if such replica:
* is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition; or
* Uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.
Antique and replica handguns cannot be carried without a license or possessed by convicted felons.
Bold and underlined is mine. But be aware that this was from 1995 and new law may supersede this.
Here is a better reference.
