Can a person in NY state take his pistol and permit into PA?

Question

A friend of mine called me because I once lived in Pa ,about 20 years ago. He said he is going to Pa tomorrow to pick up a large sum of money and felt like he wanted to take his pistol. Can He take his NY permited pistol into PA and be okay with Pa law?

Answer 1

No, PA does NOT have reciprocity with NY. Your friend could get a FL or PA non-resident permit and be able to carry.

Answer 2

Only if Pa. has a reciprocal agreement with NY.  Many states do, however many do not. He had better check before he does it, because the price for carrying a weapon illegally can be severe.
