The funny thing is that there are situations where you could legally walk around with a AR strapped to your back but couldn't carry a pocket knife. Philly I believe for example bans all knives from being carried unless your actively using it for work. While firearm laws are uniform across the entire state (even if certain cities like to act like that's not the case), knife owners unfortunately don't have that same protection.

They are uniform except in Philadelphia, which has its own process to obtain a LTCF and where open carry is only legal if you have a license.

Yeah except Philadelphia has no right to have their own process. Thats actually against the law and has been challenged more then once. As for the open carry issue, that's because they are a city of the first class. All that means is that they hit a certain population number. It's not because Philadelphia decided to make it that you needed a license for open carry.
