Concealed carry Philadelphia Int. Airport

[Pocono]

Picking up son, daughter-in-law and grandson at Philadelphia Airport tomorrow. We will not be going into secured area; just parking, the arrival gate and baggage claim. Anyone know of any restrictions for concealed carry in these areas??? Thanks for the input.

PPD would like to think there is. Nope, no law against it.

I always CC to the Air Port (just did this morning). As long as you don't try to go into the Terminals (through metal detectors) you'll be OK.

I was there last week. Just don't go thru the metal detectors.

I wouldn't even park the car if I were you.

Three weeks ago I dropped off fiance and her son while I went to park the car. By the time I drove around and got into parking garage C she was already on the way out.

Never even got out of the car.

Took longer to pay the lousy 3 or 4 dollars for parking for 10 seconds. Every idiot kept pulling up behind the car in the toll gate which blocks the camera view of the license plate so the toll takers just stop and don't take tolls till everybody backs up. I managed to get enough room to get over to the credit card lane after sitting there for 5 minutes and figuring out what was happening.

I hate PHL, ABE and Harrisburg are much easier and sometimes cheaper flights.

Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to jail... Airports can be consitered federal property, like a court houses. I believe it is 5 years mandatory federal time... if caught.

Methinks you believe wrong sir. The secure area is the "federal property" The rest of the airport is subject to the laws of the commonwealth as far as I know.

I was OC down there just a few weeks ago, and met up with a Philly cop. He was adamant that I was breaking the law, but he did not see fit to arrest me. He was involved in a strenuous conversation with what seemed to be a friend of his, so maybe that is what kept me out of the pokey. I think it is more likely he didn't want to be bothered. It is a sure thing he did not know the law. I had a flier out and was trying to explain the relatively simple English it contains. I was not successful.

In any case, I was not arrested, I did not lose my gun or my LTCF, and the guy who was talking with the cop asked for the flier I had after the cop himself refused to take it.
