Because DCNR has instituted a 'regulation' stating as much, and the state has not taken that authority away from them (yet).

Anyone else see a problem with this? "(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do
so by the State in which the school zone is located "


By reading this it would seem that if you were from out of state, say Florida and you came to see your {insert relative here} in a school play armed, only having a Florida CC permit you are breaking the law.

Yes, that was addressed a few years ago. The ATF released a letter(was either open or direct) and sided on the gun bearing person needing a license/permit from the state in which the school is located. Reciprocal coverage will not protect you from the federal law.

Folks with a PA LTCF would be exempt from the federal law within 1000ft of a school in PA. Those carrying under reciprocal agreement with a license from another state would NOT be exempt under the federal law.

PA's own law has a provision for other lawful purposes - but even PA LTCF persons risk arrest yet.

Do you happen to know the reasoning behind this regulation?

As a tactic to appease those who think that "feel good" laws & regs really make people safer.

I AM NOT A LAWYER...

If you have a valid Texas concealed handgun license then you should be legal. PA has a reciprocity agreement with TX.

If you do not have a permit then no, you may not carry concealed or openly in Philadelphia.

If you have a legal concealed carry permit, does the same rules apply?

It was pointed out to me by another member that my own county, Indiana, has an ordinance prohibiting the carrying of firearms in county parks (http://www.indianacountyparks.org/faqs/regs.html). It's sort of undated, so there's no telling when it came out in relation to the Uniform Firearms Act.

Needless to say, a letter went out tonight to the county commissioners and the parks director pointing out the error of their ways.

Yes, the Philadelphia Public Library does not insist your carry permit be only from Texas. Pennsylvania is also honored.
