"Pennsylvanians are required to carry a permit for a concealed weapon; however, there are exemptions, such as in the case of Mr. Banks, who Dickson City police later found out had a federal gun-dealer license."

So, does an FFL grant the right to concealed carry?

What was at issue here in PA was Open Carry. The article is confusing the issue somewhat.

The weapon that was confiscated was a backup which was concealed. I gather that the reason the weapon was confiscated was that the owner could not provide “proof of ownership” as the gun was legally aquired in a private transaction — hence it when the cops ran the serial it didn’t show in the database.

Initial reports indicated that the weapon would only be returned when Mr. Davis showed proof of ownership. It appears that the Police Dept. has retreated from that position.

I gather from some of the websites that are buzzing about the incident that the cops should not have confiscated the weapon in the first place.
