The PPD wording on the memo is poorly worded. There is no special permit. Any permit that PA recognizes is ok in Philly.

PA does have preemption but a special exception was made in the law that just affects OC in "cities of the first class" which means 1 million or more population. Philly is the only city in the state that meets the exception. All other PA firearms laws apply in Philly. The exception is only for OC

I don't see this law as any different than a sobriety checkpoint. The cops have no RAS but stop you anyway. How is that legal?
