A town web site won't have state laws on it, only (maybe) town ordinances.
Have you discovered the Pennsylvania Firearms Owners Association web site yet? Start there.

Which PA gun laws? There are laws for hunting and use of a handgun.
Absolutely start with the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association site and click on 'LAW' at the top.
Then you need to read the actual laws. http://www.loc.gov/law/help/guide/states/us-pa.php

Overall, PA gun laws are similar to many states except they now have universal background checks on gun transfers except for (between) immediate family members.
Simply.... no loaded gun in vehicle unless you have a carry permit and then handgun only. No restrictions on what you have at home. No registration or foid cards for purchase. Background check required.
Carry permits are issued by the County. They are very easy to obtain if you qualify. This is for the state in general. Not sure about Philly.
No semi auto allowed for hunting (rifles and pistols). Okay with shotgun for small game.
