The law is pretty vague. Offensive weapons are prohibited, unless you are law enforcement or show you would not use it in an offensive way.
§ 908. Prohibited offensive weapons.
(a) Offense defined.--A person commits a misdemeanor of the
first degree if, except as authorized by law, he makes repairs,
sells, or otherwise deals in, uses, or possesses any offensive
weapon.
"Offensive weapons." Any bomb, grenade, machine gun, sawed-
off shotgun with a barrel less than 18 inches, firearm specially
made or specially adapted for concealment or silent discharge,
any blackjack, sandbag, metal knuckles, dagger, knife, razor or
cutting instrument, the blade of which is exposed in an
automatic way by switch, push-button, spring mechanism, or
otherwise, any stun gun, stun baton, taser or other electronic
or electric weapon or other implement for the infliction of
serious bodily injury which serves no common lawful purpose.
And you should really ask your local DA about it. It appears that if its held for defensive purposes, and you can have a preponderance of evidence that you won't use it, it could be considered legal.

Yes, pepper spray is legal for civilian use in Philadelphia, but there are restrictions on the amount of pepper spray that can be carried and where it can be used. It is always advisable to check the specific laws and regulations regarding pepper spray in the city to ensure compliance.
Back in Pittsburgh, Pa.
In PA you have to be 21 to conceal carry (or carry loaded in your car) a handgun.
No
There are no state laws in PA which prevent the use or carry of hollow point ammunition. The reason most people can't 'find' a law specifically relating to 'hollow point' is that laws are typically written for items not allowed or legal. Hence, no mention of hollow points. But, in short, yes hollow point ammo is legal in PA. Happy Hunting!
It's 17 in PA.
yes
There is no law in pa that states you can't carry a concealed weapon into a bar. There are states where it is illegal but pa isn't one of them.
you can carry it and personally i do think anyone above the age of 12 should be able to carry it although some states require you to be 18 to buy and carry it but in pa you have to be 18 to buy it not to use and carry it
