To get insurance in the state of Pennsylvania after having a DUI on your record is fairly hard. First, you will need to wait 4 months after receiving the DUI. I then suggest having a personal talk with your insurer.
Not if your second DUI fell into the highest tier (meaning a BA level of over .16, a refusal or an accident). In this case, the DUI becomes a first-degree misdemeanor. Although it's common to think that only a felony will take away your gun rights, because Pennsylvania has no felony DUI charge and because the punishment for a highest tier second DUI is similar to the way a felony is treated, the Federal government views it as the same. Therefore, not only can you not own or possess a handgun, but you can't own or possess a rifle, crossbow, knife or anything that could be considered a weapon.

* Federal law is 21 for handguns and 18 for long guns.
You may purchase a rifle or shotgun from a licensed dealer in PA. Under Federal law, you may only purchase a handgun in your state of residence. Exception- California law does not permit a Californian to purchase a firearm in any other state.
A DUI attorney in Pennsylvania can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000. Costs are affected by where you live, whether this is your first DUI and the experience level of your lawyer.
A DUI will adversely affect your insurance regardless, but the degree of effectiveness depends on your history and your insurance company.
If you have been issued a citation for DUI there is no statute of limitations. You have been informed of the charge and will not be surprised by it. The ticket does not go away.
PA doesn't require registration ofordinary Title I firearms, to include handguns.
