Heading to college? How old is she?
If under 21, she would need to keep it in her living quarters? Is she going to be in the dorm, or off-campus housing?
Most colleges do not allow you to carry on their campus, and most won't allow you to keep them in campus housing.
You will need to find these answers through the college that she is going to.
The other question I have is she from PA or WI? eh, just looked it up... we recognize each other's permit/license to carry.
Example... I have need to sometimes go to the area that the University of Pittsburgh is located. On the sidewalk, I'm more than OK to carry, but if I happen to enter a building that is owned/operated by the University, I have violated the University's rules.
I would also get her some OC spray or Mace.
As far as giving her a firearm as a gift. You may give her anything you want. The question comes down to is she legally allowed to carry or transport it. I would check the Interstate travel laws if she is coming from out of state to see if their is an age restriction on Interstate travel.
I know I gave you more questions than answers. I just hope I pointed you in the right direction in answering some of them.
Good luck to you and to her.
Sounds more like a troll !!! But, in case your not, pay the money and go talk to a lawyer. Advise or legal interpretations on the Internet should be verified.
Tricolordad,
Being that she's under 21, she is obligated to carry open since she is not eligible for a LTCF from PA. That leaves her with some restrictions. She is not able to carry in any vehicle whatsoever and must lock the firearm unloaded in the vehicle (generally the trunk). If she is using busing on campus, this will be out of the question for her. Also, most people don't realize that in PA, open carry in a STATE park is not allowed either. She should become very familiar with open carry rules in PA, especially while being on a liberally minded college campus.
Also, PA law states that the prohibition of carrying openly must be expressed verbally or on a sign (no requirements that I have read about sign size) before she would be considered "defiantly trespassing".
Read the student handbook voraciously. There is probably some mention of firearms in the handbook. If not, then unless a school official says to her directly that she cannot carry, she would not be considered defiantly trespassing.
One concern, crime on campuses is huge. If word gets out that she was carrying and then gets told that she can't. Her firearm, will be in her living quarters unattended. Are you going to send her some type of lock box that she can bolt to the floor as well?
Good luck to you sir.
Fixed it for you. OC is legal is federal parks and local parks. CC only in state parks.
Some will say that OC is now legal in state parks as well, due to a recent change in the wording of an
unrelated statute, but it hasn't been tested yet.
She is 18, almost 19 by the time she gets there. She has OC, a few cans actually as well as a Kimber two shot thingie (don't use it, no idea what it's called.). I know carry will be restricted, but as far as transportation, I would be sending it FedEx, ammo in a separate package. (that's for you phrogmedic).
