Carrying a concealed firearm without a valid license in Cumberland County might seem like a technicality, especially if you legally own the gun. But under 18 Pa.C.S. § 6106, this is treated as a third-degree felony, with steep penalties. 
You Can Be Charged If You:
- Have a gun in your vehicle
- Are stopped with a concealed weapon in public
- Cross state lines with a Pennsylvania-registered gun but no LTCF
Penalties:
- Up to 7 years in prison
- $15,000 in fines
- Felony record with long-term consequences
Local Enforcement:
Police in areas like Carlisle and Camp Hill enforce this statute strictly. We’ve represented people who were stopped for minor traffic violations and suddenly found themselves facing a felony charge over a legally owned gun.
How We Defend You
We review whether you were eligible for an exemption, whether the firearm was actually “concealed,” and if your Fourth Amendment rights were violated during the search.
