Here in Philadelphia we have a court dedicated to the illegal possession of firearms. If you are caught owning an illegal weapon and have never committed a crime with it or any other crime then you will most likely get probation for three to five years. If you are caught with an illegal firearm and commit a robbery for example, it is a mandatory five year sentence not including the charges for the crime you commited.
Seeing how we border the most dangerous city in America (Camden, New Jersey) and rank sixth among cities with half a million people or more people here would be better of getting a ccw and playing it safe.
