To my knowledge, that's only in Philadelphia, not the rest of Pennsylvania for open carry.

There is nothing more that screams "i am an *******" than open carry in a public place like a store.
I don’t want to know. 
PA is an open carry state, as stated, and also, as stated, anywhere in a car is considered concealed carry. It can be sitting on the dash in plain sight and that is considered concealed and a concealed carry permit is required.
So, on a belt out side a shirt, open carry and legal, under a shirt and only legal if you have a concealed carry permit.
I am a big proponent of having a gun available, but I am not a big proponent of open carry, particularly in stores around people that would be uncomfortable.
If I am concealed carrying the goal is you don’t know I have it on me. But I have it if necessary.

I have concealed carry permits from 7 states including Pennsylvania and I would never open carry, even in states where it is allowed. If someone with bad intentions and a gun wants to do something bad with it, open carry makes me a candidate for his first victim.
Why carry? How many Walmart shootings have happened where innocent, unarmed victims get caught up in carnage and death? I travel to St Louis regularly and it isn't a picnic downtown. How many church shootings happen because the assumption by the criminal is that it is a soft target? I am not a soft target and if one of these aholes decides to try to take lives, they will get return fire back.

I agree 100%. But 7? I have two and they 38 states. How many do your 7 cover?
ironically of the 12 that aren’t covered, 6 are right around me with most being very hard core anti gun.
According to the US Concealed Carry web site, I can legally carry in 39 states. My home state, the bankrupt People's Republic of Illinois, does not reciprocate with any states so practically no state reciprocates with them. Some states will reciprocate with other states if you have a resident permit from them, but not if you have a non-resident permit from them.
There is a bit of overkill, but the laws constantly change, and I am pretty well covered in states that actually believe in the 2nd Amendment being a right. I have permits from PA, ME, NH, IL, VA, FL, and UT. If the Supreme Court ever finally settles things once and for all, then perhaps there is hope of someday carrying in the other 11 states. Until then, if you are in a situation in one of those states where seconds matter, the police will be minutes away to show up and notify your next of kin.
Are you certain you can conceal carry in 38 states? Try this map and put in the states you have your permit from and see what the results are:
US Concealed Carry Reciprocity Maps
Virginia, Florida, Utah and Arizona are good states for being able to carry in a lot of states with one of their permits.
I use the same map, the app version. I have PA and a non-resident FL and I am covered in 38 states. Some have some restrictions.
btw, when i out in your permits I count 40, not 39. I think the main difference is IL and WA that don’t count for me.

Ah, though I come up with 39 no restrictions for myself according to the web version. When I run it on the web version with your states, I get 36 with the difference being South Carolina and Maine. I wonder what is causing those different results? Ah well, just goes to show that you need to check a state's laws yourself if you are going to travel there and not just rely on this particular site's results.
I realized they are different sites, mine is USCCA yours is USACarry
Riiiiight. 7 permits and yet 11 states where you still can't legally carry. And the average gun fight lasts 3 seconds with 7 shots fired. Stick to what you know and remain silent.
Geez, I didn’t know it was an insult - for all I know you may have only made it to 2nd grade.
I'm not sure this is the insult you hope it is.
I have a permit but I don't carry and I am enough of a realist to know I should.
Being afraid and being prepared for the worst are very different things.
Okay, here’s my POV. We’ve been asked to keep politics off the board. While elected officials haven’t been brought in (thank you), this baby is on the precipice because it’s a divisive topic where differences are more serious than what can pass for carbonara.
Let’s take this back. No, I’m not a mod. And no, my POV does not reflect that of our mod(s). But if you believe in self-policing (wouldn’t it be ironic if those that I’m talking to don’t?) then consider this a single member’s request to drop it without mod intervention.

The "new" forum reminds me of a situation in my early days. Wife was Clarion, I was PS. We followed wrestling from the 60's, she is now solid PS. We were original members of the Wrestling Club, I think dues were $25. We could get tickets to tourneys through the wrestling club.
Went to a tourney, the arena was like half full. Found our PS seats. A couple sat next to us and we shot the breeze. The PS people all around us were talking wine and cheese stuff. My new friend says to me, I'm moving to the other side, I say, we're with you. We moved and sat in the Lock Haven section and talked wrestling. No problem.
if you guys have run out of topics to talk about, there’s always the Middle East! 
Was that an allegory on a wrestling board? Before this turns ugly, we don't like fancy stories that have moral-to-the-story aspects to it. We prefer to grunt and scratch our backsides and talk about how tasty our fried intestines are gonna be when we go to Palermo. Please show some refinement here.
PS. - I'm from Lock Haven. Wine is made with dandelion and cheese is Velveeta.
Isn't that like from Pittsburgh to Columbus?if you guys have run out of topics to talk about, there’s always the Middle East!
allegories are ornery on account of because they have all them teeth and no toothbrush. or so I’ve heard.
I love 90% of the stuff here but it's a wrestling board. My personal opinion is the Starocci thread is the worst thread I have ever seen here.Was that an allegory on a wrestling board?

I don't participate in it, just like I did when I moved over to the Lock haven people. I love the inside info about wrestling here, people are extremely knowledgeable. Pardon me if I skip over the other 10% of the threads.
Being 77 years old I learned to make dandelion wine early on, even made elde-blow wine from the blossoms of elderberries. You are aware that drinking wine from the blossoms makes one go crazy.
Wife and I stick to beer now, I want a big glass of Guiness before I pass away.
See, I can talk about non-wrestling stuff too, I'm just beeoaiinncching about 10% of the posts.
lol velveeta is not cheese although its good for cooking PSU1985 you better check the ingredients!
Go with Old Rasputin rather than Guinness. A different stout but far better imho. I had dandelion wine in college.
My grandmother used to go out back and pick dandelions for dandelion soup. I never forgave her for those memories...
The depression must have been nuts to live through.

I know it's not cheese. It was a subtle dig at my long dead dad, who insisted that Velveeta was cheese. The thing I like best about this forum is its subtlety in conversation. I am a cheese connoisseur, so stay far away from Velveeta.
What did this post and your one before it contribute to this thread? Nothing. Yet there you were, posting useless drivel. Carry on.
Whaddya gonna do, shoot me? Have at it, but quit clogging the board first.

Can we please not. I don't need to be astroturfed into gun control/gun rights conversations. There's no changing minds here.
Darn. I must’ve clicked on the wrong thread. I was looking for the abortion discussion. 
So if I've been following along correctly; One poster decides to go in the gutter and insult another poster, that poster responds by using facts and logic to support his stance on said topic, then you decide to ignore the person throwing out insults and instead chide the person defending his position?
So he should've just let the other person insult him in your view and not defend himself?
You're part of the problem, do better.
Talk about useless drival read your post right above lmfao. This is a wrestling board not civics class no ody cares about your opinion we all have them now get back to wrestling
