some one told me that in pittsburgh, you are only allowed to have a 10 round or less mag in your gun. any one know if this is true? also if it is true are you allowed to carry another clip on your person? ---

I CC regularly, the only mag limit that i can think of is the 1994 Assualt weapons ban that banned all production of mags over 10 rounds. To my knowledge there is no mag limits in pa. Just for reference, here is the Pa Uniform firearms act. [http://www.acslpa.org/pa\_uniform\_firearms\_act.htm](http://www.acslpa.org/pa_uniform_firearms_act.htm) _edit_ also no municipality or local gov’t can make an ordinance other than what is specified in the Pa Firearms act. There is a preemption clause that prohibits this. ---

Some of philthadelphia’s gun laws are in the Pa Firearms act, several laws that were written by the city have been fought in court and overturned or are on appeal. The Pittsburgh lost/stolen gun law is currently under fire from the NRA. The lawsuit brought by the NRA isn’t really about whether the law is good or not, its about the fact that Pittsburgh city council broke a law by writing that legislation. more answers can be found here [http://www.pafoa.org/](http://www.pafoa.org/) Shaggy, you’re totally right on that. Don’t draw attention to yourself and don’t flash your gun and you won’t have any issues at all. On a side note… Open carry is legal in Pa but I highly advise against this, it draws attention and could cause more problems for you in the end. ---
