Hi PA Peeps

I'll be in Scranton PA for work a few weeks at a time. I'm a FL resident with a CWP in FL good for another 7 years (just renewed it). Anything I have to know? I carry a Glock 17 wit 2 spare mags and sometimes a Sig 238. I carry 99% of the time.

Will be busy with work so I wont have much time for shooting but will have my G17 with me all the time.

Welcome!

You are good to go!

HERE is the Attorney General's site and you can see FL is on the list.

does it matter if your spare mags are exposed but CCW is covered?

I sometimes wear my mags on my belt and the top is covered by my shirt but the bottom half of the mag pouch can be seen. Pistol is not seen or obvious

Shouldn't be an issue. NEPA is very gun friendly though they will give you the rolleyes look if they see you carrying.

OC is legal in PA. And you can even carry in a bar

If you do any driving around the back country remember that you won't be that far from NY where your possesion of the handgun is unlawful. And lots of the smaller roads won't alert you to the fact that you have changed states.

NO Law against it, HOWEVER most hospitals will have a sign forbidding it ~ anti gun AMA I suppose...

I go to rehab twice a week and have never looked for a sign!

As long as it wouldn't be a firing offense, I would not ask.

I think I saw one sign by the ER but I dont ask or tell ... wont get fired but may get told not to bring it if someone finds out - but they have/will not.


PS Whats up with the drinking and driving up here...seems like it happens a lot.
