This isn't New York City...
No license is required to own a handgun, rifle or shotgun anywhere in Pennsylvania.

Welcome to the forum!
Knight is right. No license is required for PA residents, just walk into a gun shop, pick one out and buy it. You will need to pass a criminal/mental history background check though. That should only take a few minutes though.
