My PA CCW is no good in Philly; I need a special City permit to carry there. Reason #1 I avoid the craphole and stay well west of that place.
That law is designed to protect the Philly population when they mug you or play the knockout game.
“I need a special City permit to carry there. Reason #1 I avoid the craphole and stay well west of that place.”
I think you are mistaken.
“Pennsylvania LTCF’s are available to both residents and non-residents and are valid for 5 years. For residents, the applications are handled by their county sheriff’s office, with the exception of Philadelphia where they are handled by the Gun Permits & Tracking Unit of the Philadelphia Police Department. It should be noted that permits issued by one county must be honored by all counties including Philadelphia regardless of rumors to the contrary.”

It may be good advice to stay out of Philadelphia, but most CCW permits in the nation are good there.
