Cleveland Browns football player Gerard Warren did not a have gun license!

I know Penn is a shall-issue state, but aside from that know nothing about its gun laws. Is their NY-Style registration? Is it illegal to have a gun stored in your vehicle a certain way?

Another crime story from the National Felon League.

Interesting legal issues present here.

One year probation sounds a little heavy to me if there was no other crime being committed.

BTW, might that handgun have been a (G)Lock .45?

Warren had ownership papers for the weapon, but did not have a license for the gun.

Since when did you need a license in order to exercise a constitutionally-protected right?!!!

There is no such thing as a "license for a gun" in PA.

PA is a shall issue license to carry state, and this must be what the author is referring to.

In PA, without a carry permit, you are only authorized to transport a gun in a car if it is unloaded and stored in a seperate "compartment" from any ammo.

Additionally, you can only transport it to and from a place of practice (range), hunting, or repair/purchase.

So having a loaded (?) gun, or even an unloaded one outside a nightclub early in the morning is not legal.
