I'm about 98.xx% certain a question like this came up a couple of years ago on the PAFOA (Pennsylvania Firearms Owners Association) forum and the answer was no. The law reads that you must carry your license, and a judge ruled that a facsimile of the license is not the license.

But ... there are 49 other states ...

I think just the opposite. More and more state-issued IDs contain a hologram to aid in determining authenticity. A cop can't verify a photo of a hologram.
