A friend will be moving from Memphis to Philly. He's a gun guy and well equipped, with a TN carry permit. Anything he should consider w/ respect to types of guns he can own? Licensing? Any other considerations?

Nothing. He can bring machineguns with him if he wants.

 

He should get LTCF ASAP because in Philly he can only be in public if going to and from the range with a firearm unless he has LTCF. Honestly, I would find a nearby spot outside of Philly jurisdiction unless he really wants city life. Philly also won't sign NFA paperwork, so he can only buy new NFA using a trust or corp and ATF is getting rid of that 2016 likely. Although, we are going to try to pass a law requiring all jurisdictions to sign for NFA items about a year later I hope.

 

No knives in public in Philly. 90 days in jail mandatory. Philly jail. Rarely enforced but you'll make a cop happy if he wants to jam you up for some reason.

Hey Newtonian, did you pick that new avatar, or did they hang it on you like a red "A"?

I'm saving the scarlet A for when someone accuses me of lying in sin with a rabbit.
