Do you have a link to information regarding the legality of carrying firearms, concealed and otherwise, in PA?
Thanks.

State Constitution Article I, Section 21

This link is a listing of all the PA firearms codes. In it you will find that a carry license is only required in Philadelphia OR carrying openly in a vehicle. To carry a concealed weapon anywhere requires a license to carry.
what kind of state gun laws do you consider makes a state 'safe' and I can give you the particulars.?

Since the courts have seen fit to attempt to drop the second amendment from the bill of rights, we have had to resort to other means to maintain it, thus the national carry permit, or what we call the 'reciprocity' bill. There are currently two house bills for this. H.R. 4547 and H.R. 1243
