out of state'er oc'ing and traveling with handgun

i'm heading up to rausch creek on friday for a weekend of wheeling with my jeep club.

wondering if i can oc or travel with my FN in PA, i dont have my VA CHP yet if that matters.

i know i have to cross thru MD which means unloading and stashing it out of reach, how bout PA?

To transport a handgun in a vehicle in PA you have to possess a license/permit from ANY other state. Without a license/permit you can only transport a handgun in a vehicle to/from a very limited number of places: a range, gunsmith, vacation home, between home and place of business(you own an interest in).

Without a license/permit you absolutely cannot transport a handgun in, on, or upon a vehicle just to merely open carry somewhere. It doesn't matter where it is unloaded, or encased, or carried openly in the vehicle - the law prohibits carrying in a vehicle unless licensed(except the few exempted locations). Unregulated open carry is legal on foot and outside of Philly.

So, do you have a license or permit from any state? If the answer is no, then no you cannot. If yes, then yes.

no permit or lic. of any kind as of right now. we dont "need" a permit to move around with our guns down here in va.

thanks for the advice thou, looks like i'll be leaving my baby at home

Sorry to deliver the bad news..

We are working on getting Constitutional Carry. Hopefully someday that dream with come to fruition.
