I've thoroughly read through Title 18, 6106. I'll post it here http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/LI/CT/HTM/18/00.061.009.000..HTM
§ 6106. Firearms not to be carried without a license.
(a) Offense defined.--
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), any person who
carries a firearm in any vehicle or any person who carries a
firearm concealed on or about his person, except in his place
of abode or fixed place of business, without a valid and
lawfully issued license under this chapter commits a felony
of the third degree.
Ok, here is a question that was posed to me, and I really couldn't answer him with authority. Hopefully, someone here can. The question was, if one has a LTCF in PA and is in one's vehicle and feels like taking off one's firearm, what is the legal code in doing so? According to Title 18, 6106, it seems as if you can carry open in a vehicle with a LTCF or carry concealed anywhere with a LTCF except where normally prohibited. So again the question, can one have a LOADED handgun in the vehicle IF it is not on one's person? Please give sources for your answer. Thank you.
