Under 18 Pa.C.S. Section 6106, carrying a firearm in a vehicle anywhere in Pennsylvania generally requires a valid License to Carry Firearms, with limited exceptions for unloaded transport between specified lawful locations.
Pennsylvania's vehicle carry rule is set by 18 Pa.C.S. Section 6106, which makes it a third-degree felony to carry a firearm in any vehicle (or concealed on the person) without a valid License to Carry Firearms (LTCF) issued under Section 6109. Limited exceptions in Section 6106(b) and the transport rules of Section 6106.1 allow an unlicensed person to transport a firearm unloaded and in a separate compartment from ammunition between their home, place of business, a licensed dealer, a repair shop, a hunting location with appropriate license, or an authorized shooting range. The Section 6120 preemption blocks municipalities from layering on stricter vehicle carry rules, so these state rules apply uniformly across all 67 counties.
Carrying a firearm in a vehicle without an LTCF and outside the narrow transport exceptions is a third-degree felony punishable by up to seven years imprisonment and $15,000 fine.
