Yup, OC w/o a permit is legal, except for in Philly, resident or not. However, O/C and vehicle carry are unrelated. As soon as you enter the vehicle it is considered concealed, even if it is laying on the dashboard for all to see. The good news is that your permit IS VALID while inside your vehicle. So driving wouldn't be a problem. If OC isn't for you, you would be able to keep your gun locked in your vehicle while you are working. And again, having it in your hotel room won't be a problem.Wow. Open carry for a non resident? Does that include in a vehicle? I don't think I'd want to open carry, seems to just invite trouble. I'm mostly concerned with having cash on me and thousands of dollars worth of tools probably in my vehicle every night. I just want to feel safe in my room at night mostly.
If assachusetts didn't have their head up their butts and recognized more states here, we might get more reciprocal states.
I worked in NW PA two years ago out in the boonies, and never really thought about it, I just carried it locked in my truck and in my room at night in a drawer. This trip I'll be in the Lancaster area some place, I don't know how rural it is there.
Not a nuisance at all.

On Tuesday, May 25, the House Judiciary Committee successfully passed HB40, Castle Doctrine legislation, which will now head to the House floor for consideration. The committee also defeated three anti-gun bills (HB1043, HB1044 and HB1045).
House Bill 40, sponsored by State Representative Scott Perry (R-92), would permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their homes and any places outside of their home where they have a legal right to be. It is clearly stated that there would be no “duty to retreat” from an attacker, allowing law-abiding citizens to stand their ground to protect themselves and their family. HB40 would also protect individuals from civil lawsuits by the attacker or the attacker’s family when force is used.
House Bill 1043 would have created a new Bureau of Illegal Firearms Trafficking or a “Firearm Trafficking Czar” in the Office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General. Passage of this bill had the potential to establish yet another anti-gun biased bureaucratic agency within the state government.
House Bill 1044 would have gutted Pennsylvania’s firearm preemption statute which currently allows only the State Legislature to enact laws pertaining to firearms. Without a state preemption law, the result would have been a complex patchwork of restrictions that change from one local jurisdiction to the next.
House Bill 1045 would have brought California-style gun-control to the Keystone State and ultimately banned many semi-automatic firearms commonly owned by Pennsylvanians.
Excellent!AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, and AWESOME!!!!:yes2:Link Removed
