LTCF Arrived Today... whoo hooo.... Just one QUESTION

[NEPAGUNNER]

It took 35 days and $28.50 but my new plastic LTCF arrived safe and sound..... now the next thing I need is a supressor/silencer... I'll have to head to Eds sport shop for that...

Anyways my question is: Does the LCTF cover rifles/long guns as well as pistols...?? meaning... Can I (have/not have) loaded rifles/shotguns/long-guns... say in my vehicle... even though I have a valid LTCF??

NO !!!!

For long guns you are STILL REQUIRED to have the weapons UNLOADED , with the ammo in a SEPERATE container. Now , that being said, my understanding is that something like a soft sided long gun case , with the weapon INSIDE and the ammo ( even in loaded mags) stored in the OUTSIDE pockets DOES meet the statutory requirement for unloaded storage during transport

No. Your LTCF only covers "Firearms" as defined by 18 Pa. C.S.A. § 6102:

"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.

Does the long gun need to be locked in the case or have some sort of gun lock affixed to it?

Sorry. I do not wish to start a debate. But you overpaid by $3.50 for your LTCF.

The issuer is only allowed to charge upto $25 by PA law.

If the issuer charged you over $25, they have committed a summary offence.

I know and agree. The cash amount is pointless. But the fact it is against the law makes this very important.

I am unaware of any requirement to have the case/bag locked or a requirement to have the gun itself locked

I apologize for asking this off-topic, but are you in Luzerne County? I am surprised about the 35 day wait. When I renewed last year (while Savokinas was still sheriff, mind you) I walked out with my LTCF in 15 minutes.

No. Your LTCF only covers "Firearms" as defined by 18 Pa. C.S.A. § 6102:

So hypothetically if you had a SBR AR15 with lets say a 10" barrel, you would be able to carry it loaded in a vehicle?
