FAQ
Where do I go to file a private criminal complaint? The District Attorney's Private Criminal Complaint Unit is located at 1425 Arch St. 4th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19102. For more information, please call 215-686-9863.
PA prohibits having ``firearms'', rifles, and shotguns loaded in a vehicle. The definition of loaded is the following: So, if you have any gun in the vehicle suitable for any of the loaded magazines - both the loaded magazine and the gun must be in separate enclosures.
Illegal possession of a firearm is, in the simplest term, unlawful possession of a certain weapon on behalf of an individual.
The penalties for possession of a prohibited dangerous weapon – for example, a firearm – are graded as a felony of the third degree. The penalties are as much as three and one half to seven years' incarceration and a $15,000 civil penalty.
Age Limitations: The right to bear arms is limited to individuals who are at least 18 years of age for long guns and 21 years of age for handguns. Federal law prohibits the sale of firearms to individuals under these age limits, and many states have enacted similar restrictions.
The SAFE ACT bans most semi-automatic rifles by making it a felony to possess a semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine that has one or more cosmetic features that New York finds undesirable, such as: A folding or adjustable stock. A thumbhole stock. A pistol grip.
Thus, even if you have had a conviction expunged in California, you will still have the ban if that conviction was for a felony or for a qualifying misdemeanor that triggered either a ten-year or lifetime ban on owning or possessing a firearm. Unlawfully owning or possessing a firearm is a crime.
