Where can you not carry a concealed weapon in Pennsylvania?
I have read over the law and know I cannot bring it into federal buildings, schools and theaters. Now, the definitions of these might be trickily obscured, such as theater. Do they mean an actual movie theater, or another/different venue? Can I carry my weapon concealed in the mall? Etc. Etc. Etc..

I know in Montana we’re not supposed to wear a gun into “a room which sells alcohol”.. So does that mean a bar – or a grocery store too because it has wine for sale?
Mostly – nobody knows you’re carrying your piece – so don’t worry about it. Nobody’s going to catch you anyway. These laws are probably just general guide lines, and if for some reason the country **** just HATES you then he will prosecute you if he can… but mostly nobody’s going to enforce these laws all that strictly.

You need a permit or a license to carry a concealed gun in Pennsylvania; carrying one without a permit is a third-degree felony. In Pennsylvania, the license to carry will not automatically give you the right to purchase a weapon—you still must go through a background check to purchase a gun. To get a permit, you must be 21 years old and not have been convicted of a felony.
Prohibited area include k-12 Schools,Federal Buildings, Court Houses, and Casinos.
That is state law. There may be additional places you can not carry even with a permit established by county law. I don’t know your county so I can’t provide those sorry.
