There is no licensing in PA except for the concealed carry permit. All you need to do is show up and you're perfectly legal in PA. The concealed carry permits are issued in the county by the sheriff's department.
You're moving to an entirely new world when it comes to firearms relative to NYC.

PA is like the wild west compared to NY & NJ. I grew up in PA and look forward to moving back.

It's a law that you have to notify NYPD that you're moving out? I wouldn't tell 'em. If they need to know that, let 'em look for you.

This column answers some questions about the new Draconian gun laws of NY. It's bad. real bad
But not yours of course. And you are getting out. Just do what the Colts did to Baltimore in 1983. Pack up and move quietly at 2 O'Clock in the morning and find freedom in Pennsylvania.
Of course you are not a traitor like they were. Just exercising your unalienable rights.
Seriously,IANAL. One will be along shortly to clarify. I do like 2ndsojourn's opinion

Just click on PA. It is very easy to get a CCW permit if you have a clean record. No licenses are required to just buy or own guns however.

Hey guys thanks it seems like PA is a totally different world.You have no idea what i have to go through here when ever i decide to add a handgun to my collection.I really enjoy hunting and anything that has to do with the shooting sport.Hopefully i will get to meet some of you guys and maybe we can go and shoot together sometime.thanks again you guys were very helpful.
