Honestly, you'd be better off getting your information from PAFOA itself, Mistwolf:

Our laws are very good except for a few key weaknesses: we don't recognize all out-of-state licenses/permits, our transport laws if you don't have a license/permit are very restrictive, and you have to go through an FFL to transfer a pistol. Some of our hunting laws are also whacky due to a huge fudd population (no semi-autos, for example), but otherwise, our gun laws are Grade A prime beef: NFA-legal, state pre-emption, no AWB of any sort, lots of pro-gun Sheriffs, and a surprisingly-high population of pro-gun democrats in the legislature as well. It's a great state.
Are you moving here or visiting? If you're moving, most of the problems in this thread disappear by getting a License to Carry Firearms, which is a shall-issue process and is super simple to acquire. It's harder to buy a cell phone in PA than get a LTCF. If you're just visiting, I'd recommend getting a non-resident LTCF, which functions identically to a resident LTCF for all purposes of carry and such.
