01 — WHO WE ARE

About the
Pennsylvania
Firearms Association

We are not a hunting club. We are not a D.C. lobby group that folds. PFA is a grassroots army of moms, veterans, hunters, cops, and first-time gun owners united by one Pennsylvania truth.

Pennsylvania firearms association members

Our Roots • Since 1998

Born in a Harrisburg gun shop. Built for war in the Capitol.

The Pennsylvania Firearms Association was founded in 1998 by three FFL dealers and a retired State Trooper who were tired of watching our rights get traded away. Today we are the largest state-only Second Amendment organization in Pennsylvania — 100% independent, 100% funded by members, 0% funded by government.

Pennsylvania has its own protection stronger than the Second Amendment: Article 1, Section 21 of the PA Constitution — “The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.” We hold every politician to those words.

✓No-compromise lobbying: We score every vote, publish every betrayal, and primary every sellout — Republican or Democrat.
✓Legal defense fund: $1.2M spent defending gun owners, FFLs and ranges from Philly to Erie.
✓Free training network: 140+ volunteer instructors, 320 classes a year, women & youth programs.
✓County chapters in all 67 counties: From Allegheny to York, real people, real action.

02 — WHAT WE FIGHT FOR

Four Pillars of Freedom

Simple. Aggressive. Effective. If a bill touches your guns, ammo, magazines, or carry rights — we are already fighting it.

Legislative Warfare

Full-time team in Harrisburg tracking 180+ bills. Email, call, and door-knock pressure that politicians fear. We killed the 2024 semi-auto ban and the Pittsburgh preemption repeal.

Courts & Lawsuits

Suing Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and the State Police over illegal registries, delays, and LTCF abuses. 14 active cases. 9 wins in Commonwealth Court.

Training & Safety

Concealed carry, home defense, youth .22 leagues, Women of the Keystone clinics. Safe, responsible, confident gun owners win hearts.

Culture & Community

Gun shows, Freedom Banquets, 2A Day rallies, high-school trap leagues. We make gun ownership normal, proud, and Pennsylvania.

Constitutional Carry: Our #1 Goal

29 states have it. Pennsylvania should be 30th. No permit, no fee, no permission slip to exercise a right. We passed it in the House twice — vetoed by the Governor. 2026 is the rematch. See the bill →

Hunters, Sportsmen & Self-Defenders United

Deer camp and downtown Philly carry holders — same fight. Sunday hunting expansion, Sunday range protection, Game Lands defense, and Castle Doctrine 2.0. If you own any firearm, you belong here.

06 — INTEL & UPDATES

Gun Owners Ask — We Answer

Do I need a permit to carry in PA?

Open carry is generally legal without a permit except in Philadelphia and vehicles. To carry concealed or in a vehicle you need a License to Carry Firearms (LTCF) from your county sheriff — $20, shall-issue. PFA is fighting to make permits optional via Constitutional Carry.

Can Philadelphia ban my guns?

No. Pennsylvania has strong state preemption — only the General Assembly can make gun law. Philly ordinances banning magazines or requiring registration are illegal and we sue over them. Carry with your valid LTCF statewide.

How do I join or renew?

Click any Join button to go to membership. $35 a year, $500 lifetime. You get alerts, discounts, and you fund the fight. Business and family plans available.

Where can I train near me?

We have instructors in all 67 counties. See Training section — LTCF prep, women's clinics, youth leagues. Members save 20% and get free range days.
