One of the largest gun shows in Pennsylvania is the Oaks Gun Show, held at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. With hundreds of tables and vendors, it’s one of the most well-attended firearms events in the state.

Can you conceal carry at a gun show in PA?

No, concealed carry is not allowed at Pennsylvania gun shows, even with a valid CCW permit. For safety reasons, all firearms must be unloaded, inspected at the entrance, and secured with a tie before entering the event. No loaded firearms or live ammunition are permitted inside to ensure the safety of attendees, vendors, and staff. Security personnel are on-site to enforce these rules and maintain a secure environment for everyone.
