SOME misdemeanors can - not just in PA, but in the United States as a whole, since it's federal law which dictates what will disqualify you from firearms ownership.

<><><>

There are certain misdemeanors that make a person ineligible to possess a firearm anywhere in the US. They include a conviction for a crime of domestic violence, and being an unlawful user of drugs (including marijuana). Being under a restraining order, or having an unserved warrant will also put you on hold.
