well I'm from PA, where legal open carry is allowed
BUt that said they have plenty of rules more or less about causing a scene
which many times if you have a side arm in plain view it can cause a scene
thus why so many here carryu concealed
just a ton of less hassle at times
all depends on where you go to be honest
and sadly, many times if a store or where ever has a sign stating no weapons allowed, open carry if you miss teh sign , can get you introuble, as a concealed, well?? if no one know's??
I used to tell people, its a small price to pay, as if some day the rightis gone there is a possiblity that a previous permit holder might be grandfathered in !!
so??
thats been my view, I pay to have it and am OK with it, but our permits are cheaper(25 bucks for 5 yrs)
