Definitely not.
Not only is Pennsylvania often called the "militia capital" of the country, but we recently passed solid "castle doctrine" legislation. Plus we have very easy concealed carry, probably second only to Vermont in ease of CC. ANY non-criminal Pennsylvania resident over 21 can get a CC permit on the spot at the local sheriff's office. No "safety" or any other courses are required, you don't need to give a reason for wanting CC other than "self defense", and you don't even need to own a gun.
I recommend all Pennsylvania freepers go get their CC permits tomorrow, if you don't already have one. I think the current fee is $25 and the permit is good for 5 years. Just take proof of residency in whatever county you live in. I've had mine for at least 20 years. (Note: I can't speak for how you will be treated in the concentrated Democrat parasite nests ["cities"] but in most counties you will be treated with helpful courtesy.)
$25?
Thats cheap! That would just cover filing costs.
Friends tell me I wouldn't recognize the place nowadays. I'd rather shoot moose, caribou, and bear than deer. I'd rather not have any state or prop taxes like back east. I like living where there is no local organized govt to enact regulations & laws. AND most of all, I like living where the nearest Law enforcement is 200 miles away and the road is closed until April. I wonder how I ever made it in Pa all those years?
When you already have CCDW as a resident of the State of Delaware, you may simply present your DE license at a Pennsylvania county sheriff's office to have your application accepted. A background check is made and when satisfactory, your PA CCDW is sent to you -- good anywhere in PA, including downtown Philadelphia (but not in Federal buildings like Independence Hall or the Liberty Bell, since 9/11). For the Delawarean, the easiest place is at the Delaware County (PA) County Courthouse) in Media. In 1995, the fee was $12.50. It's now somewhere about $45, I think. But one used to have to provide photos -- now at Media they just do it like a driver's license. On renewal, you must appear, have your photo taken, and the license is printed and plasticated right there, pay your fee and go.
