Places off-limits while carrying Date updated: Friday, November 29, 2002 Title 18 Section 911 A person is forbidden to carry a firearm into a court facility. However, notice that firearms are prohibited must be posted at the courthouse entrance and facilities for checking firearms must be provided by the county. |

I'm pretty sure federal law prohibits carrying at schools. I was just reading about that somewhere... will check back if I find the link. I remember reading some junk in U.S. Code 922 about it, but that law is so broad and confusing, that I lost track a few times ;) Edited to add: Sorry, I was way off. I was thinking of U.S. Code title 18, chapter 44, section 922(q). It says...
...talk about cornfuzzling. Anyway, found a decent site for checking Pennsylvania code, but uh, title 18 seems to be missing... www.pacode.com |

But just a little bit further it saysthe following, so if he has a PA CCW, according to FEDERAL law he can carry in a school. I'm not a PA resident, and don't know PA law, so he will have to check his state laws to see if they are stricter than federal law. Here in VA you can't.: Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm - (i) on private property not part of school grounds; (ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license; |
