What I am looking at is the fact that most states does not look kindly to a person carrying a pistol across state lines.
A pistol permit in Pennsylvania does not permit you to carry a pistol in other states. Same thing - a pistol permit in Virginia does not permit you to carry a pistol in Pennsylvania.
If you were moving there permenently - then they couldnt do anything about it. But just traveling - you might have a problem. Pistols are not considered GUNS in most states. In some states they might call them side arms or what ever - but not guns.
Now a person that is in the active military - on leave, is permitted to carry a pistol anytime they want in the state of Pennsylvania. No permit required.
They also keep a antlerless license on hand for you at the county courthouse in the area you live in, in case you would like to go deer hunting but was not home during the time when the applications were processed.
This doesn't have anything to do with the original posters question but you mightwant to look at THIS site. According to it, if you have a permit in Pennsylvania you can carry in Virginia and vise versa.
Click on the different states and see who honors who's permits and who doesn't. It's pretty interesting. [/align][/align][/align]
