http://www.psp.pa.gov/firearms-information/Pages/Carrying-Firearms-in-Pennsylvania.aspx

Individuals who are 21 years of age or older and are NOT Pennsylvania residents may apply for a license by submitting a completed Application for a Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms to any Pennsylvania County Sheriff’s office along with the required fee. A Pennsylvania license cannot be issued to a resident of another state who does not possess a current license or permit or similar document to carry a firearm issued by their home state if a license is provided for by the laws of that state, as published annually in the Federal Register by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms of the Department of the Treasury.

Presumably Junior already owns the gun and has a NY gun owner license. He's applying for a carry permit, if I'm reading this correctly. A carry permit means you're allowed to conceal the gun (like an undercover po-po or private eye) which is what most celebrities would want to do.

This isn't so unusual, I guess. Maybe he'll shoot himself in the foot, you never know.
