I am 18 years old and I would like to carry my Glock 21sf in my car. What kind of permit do I have to put in for so I can legally have it with me. I don’t want a Concealed Weapons Permit because I am too young, but is there a different one I can apply for? I live in Pennsylvania

Here is a summary of PA gun laws:

You may not legally carry a gun in your car without a Concealed Carry Permit. The only exception I see to this is the Sportsman’s Firearm Permit, which is only good for hunting, fishing, trapping, and dog training.
You are allowed to carry the gun in the car if you are on your way to or from a gun range.
§ 6106. Firearms not to be carried without a license.
a.Offense defined. — Any person who carries a firearm in any vehicle or any person who carries a firearm concealed on or about his person, except in his place of abode or fixed place of business, without a valid and lawfully issued license under this chapter commits a felony of the third degree.
Also this statute
§ 6109. Licenses.
a.Purpose of license. — A license to carry a firearm shall be for the purpose of carrying a firearm concealed on or about one’s person or in a vehicle throughout this Commonwealth.
So you need a PA License to Carry Firearms (LTCF) to have a weapon in your car. you must wait until you are legal age to wait for a conceal carry. however, you may open carry on foot anywhere except where you are prohibited to.
Note: this is not legal advice. please consult your local sheriffs office and/or lawyer on how to proceed.
First of all, PA does not issue a CWP, its a License to Carry Firearms. You cannot get one until you are 21. At the age of 18, you may not transport ANY handgun or long gun loaded in a vehicle. There are but 5 reasons that you would be able to transport a firearm, according to Title 18. You best become familiar with the 126 pages of gun laws, elst you’ll find yourself commiting a felony, and won’t own a gun ever again. By the way, YOU do not own a handgun if you are a PA resident. You must be 21 years of age to lawfully purchase one. YOUR Glock had best be a gift from a parent, or you are going to find out what "beneficial possession of a firearm" means.
There’s no legal way for you to carry or even possess a Handgun in PA (or most other places) if you’re under 21. You do not want to get caught by LE with a handgun illegally in your possession since you’re over 18 and it won’t be a Juvenile Offence. If your Record is clean now, you want to keep it that way. Three years seems like a long time to wait but it will be worth it. Don’t forget that the Cops like to run plates at random and if you have a Record for a Weapons Offence, that’s an invitation to spot checks for years to come.
one thing, people are not allowed to carry a pistol or any kind of firearm in a car especiallyy california but if you live somewhere like texas i think your allowed to be able to have a gun in your car
" The Right to Keep* and Bear* Arms* Shall not be Infringed." U.S. Constitution see 2nd Amendment.**
There are no permits in Pa. Only a LTCF [License to Carry Firearms] and Sportsman’s License. Aside from that you can carry your handgun unloaded and with a lock on it and out of reach locked in the glove box with the ammo sepertly. You can also openly carry at 18 and over but can’t be in motor vehicle while doing so and can’t be on school grounds or federal/state building or in a city of first class [Philadelphia]. You can also carry rifles and shotguns in your vehicle as long as there unloaded.
Read the laws and know them:
