State Gun Laws :: Pennsylvania Pennsylvania: State law grants the Attorney General independent authority to regulate firearms, as part of the AG’s responsibility to protect consumers, but the Attorney General has not used this authority to establish gun safety standards. State law authorizes law enforcement to keep a record of every handgun sold or transferred in the state, but the state does not keep any records on the sale of rifles or shotguns.
