If I understand the pinned sticky above, I can OC w/o a permit - but if driving the pistol needs to be unloaded & in the trunk, and I can't carry a knife on me at all. Has anything changed? Not going through Philly. |
I sell firearms produced by the finest child labor in the world, be it Filipino, Muslim, Mormon, Arizonan, or Texan.

Has anything changed? Not going through Philly. PA is an open carry state, meaning you can walk out your door while carrying openly without needing a license to carry firearms (what PA calls a CCW). UNLESS you are in Philly where you need a LTC to carry openly. One issue with OC when you don’t have a LTC is that you cannot transport the firearm to a place where you want to OC in a vehicle as this is NOT an exemption listed under PA 6106. If you have a CCW from your home state, you can carry the firearm loaded on your person in the vehicle as this IS a listed exemption under PA 6106 (b)(11). You cannot get out of your vehicle and carry concealed unless your state has reciprocity with PA. Who says you can’t carry a knife? Philly is a world of its own and I think they have knife laws, but I don’t recall any other place giving a crap. Gun laws can only be passed by the State, but knives are not under any preemption which is why Philly can make screwy knife laws. |

Gotta enjoy the little things.

Let my Texas LTC lapse last year b/c we have Constitutional Carry, and I hadn't planned on doing all this traveling. |

Philly is a world of its own and I think they have knife laws, but I don’t recall any other place giving a crap. Gun laws can only be passed by the State, but knives are not under any preemption which is why Philly can make screwy knife laws. This is the important part. There are very limited places in PA you can take your gun to and from without a LTCF and not run afoul of the law. Put differently, you can't put your gun in your trunk (ammo separate) and drive to the grocery store, load up, holster and open carry in the grocery store, and then return everything to the trunk and go home or to your hotel or whatever. There is no uniform knife regulation at the state level, so municipalities you visit may have their own ordinances pertaining to the carrying of a knife. As a side note, just renew your Texas license in the future so you can take advantage of reciprocity in states you may travel to. |
What a long strange trip it's been...

Now that we have Constitutional Carry, there's actual disadvantages to having a permit recognized by Texas while carrying in Texas, hence my non-renewal. |
