It would be interesting if Philadelphia's General Assembly would opt to remove 18 Pa.C.S 6108, concerning Open Carry in Cities of The First Class, however; I sincerely doubt that there will be any effort to do so.
In accordance with Pennsylvania Law 18 Pa.C.S. 6106, it is a Crime to Carry a Firearm either: 1. Concealed on ones Person OR 2. In any Motor Vehicle, without a Pennsylvania Valid License to Carry a Firearm.
*** The provisions of 18 Pa.C.S 6106 are similiar to Alabama Code 1975 13A-11-73, however, 18 Pa.C.S. 6106 is stricter as it covers ALL Firearms, unlike Alabama Code 1975 13A-11-73 which just covers Pistols. ***
*** Pennsylvania Law accepts ALL State-issued Permits for Motor Vehicle Carry, per 18 Pa.C.S. 6106(b)(11), however; in a curious and odd-sense, such exception does not cover Concealed Carry. Concealed Carry coverage need not be entered into any such Reciprocital Agreement, but it does have requirements under 18 Pa.C.S 6106(b)(15)(i) and 18 Pa.C.S. 6106(b)(15)(ii). ***
Pennsylvania Prohibits Carry during a declared State of Emergency under 18 Pa.C.S. 1607(a), unless such Person is Defending Himself from a threat, OR such Person has a License to Carry a Firearm under either/both: 18 Pa.C.S. 1607(a)(1) AND 18 Pa.C.S. 1607(a)(2).
*** Remeber the provisions of 18 Pa.C.S. 6106(15)(i) and 18 Pa.C.S.6106(15)(ii) for the purposes of Reciprocity. ***
Pennsylvania Prohibits the Registration of Firearms that are Privately-owned, per 18 Pa.C.S. 6111.4.
Pennsylvania Prohibits the Possesion of ANY Firearm by ANYONE less than 18 years old, per Pa.C.S. 6110.1(a), except as provided under 18 Pa.C.S 6110.1(b), which; in turn, mimics Federal Law 18 U.S.C. 922(x).
Pennsylvania Law allows Persons to be Licensed, consistent to Alabama Law, per 18 Pa.C.S. 6109.
Pennsylvania has a Law that Preempts Firearm-related Laws solely to the CommonWealth of Pennsylvania, per 18 Pa.C.S. 6120.
*** Pennsylvania Law Prohibits the Possesion of Firearms in Primary or Secondary Public, Private, or Parochial School Buildings, or their Grounds, or School Buses, except for 'Lawful Purposes', per 18 Pa.C.S. 912. The term 'Lawful Purposes' is NOT defined, and there is NO Locker exception as under 18 Pa.C.S. 913, as such Pennsylvania Law is discussed below***
*** Pennsylvania Law Prohibits the Possesion of Firearms in CourtHouses by Private Persons, except that the Firearms Carried pursuant to a Pennsylvania License to Carry a Firearm, or its equilvalent, as discussed above, are able to be secured in a Locker upon arrival at the CourtHouse, pursuant to 18 Pa.C.S. 913(e). ALL CourtHouses have to follow this procedure, therefore; in theory, the ONLY place that is OFF-LIMITS for Firearms throughout Pennsylvania is the Schools discussed above. ***

P.S.: As for my Personnal Opinion, Pennsylvania is a VERY Pro-Firearm State for a Northern State, and that Surprised me very much indeed!
