You can still have it unloaded in the trunk and when you stop in PA you can load and OC. When you get into your car, you have to unload it and put it back in the trunk.
Pennsylvania law: Open carry of all guns is allowed, so long as the carrier is not otherwise restricted from owning a firearm. Open carry in a vehicle requires a permit.In order for any individual to open carry in a motor vehicle while in PA they must have either a PA LTCF, or a concealed carry permit from one of the following states.
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montanna, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming.
Individuals who don't have one of the above permits, while in a vehicle their firearm must be unloaded, cased, and in the trunk or other readily inaccessible area of the vehicle if there is no trunk. I would suggest a locked case if there is no trunk.
Upon exiting the vehicle in PA they may reload and open carry their firearms (except in Philly). If they re-enter a vehicle at any time they must unload and again stow their weapons in the prescribed manner untill they arrive at their next destination in PA. When arriving at their next destination in PA and upon exiting their vehicles they may rearm once again.
Delaware law: “Handguns may be carried in open view, or they may be carried in an inaccessible area like the trunk of an automobile. Rifles and shotguns must be unloaded while being carried in or on any vehicle, piece of farm machinery, motorboat while under power, or sailboat while under power.”As we all know, in Delaware no permit is required to open carry a firearm in a motor vehicle. However, while open carrying in a motor vehicle, firearms can not be "on or about the person". The attourney general's office has stated that having the firearm placed in a highly visible location on the dashboard or front passenger seat is required for officer safety. Their is no requirement that the firearm be unloaded.
A traveler arriving in Delaware may stop at the border, reload their firearms, and open carry so long as they comply with the above stipulations.
1.All guns are always loaded.
2.Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3.Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4.Identify your target, and what is behind it.
