Open Carry Pennsylvania

Just curious who OC in PA, where in PA and if you have had any negative interactions.

I OC in SE PA and in the "State" of Philadelphia *grin* and only once in a sandwich shop in Chester Co. did an older employee question me, I took a few minutes to educate her (she was receptive) and afterwards she was totally ok with it. I advocate educating when appropriate and receptive.

I live on the other side of the state in Pittsburgh. I don't OC when in more urban areas, due to the questioning and finger pointing I receive. I really like to be left alone. When I go north camping, hunting, fishing, etc., I generally OC since it is more common and more well-received by people.

Kudos to you for educating someone and kudos to her for being receptive. I have found that is not always the case.

I spend alot of time in the city/county of Phila as we all know is a city/county of the first class ... I tend not to OC unless i have no choice, phila city cops have been known to harrass those who OC although it seems to be race based. I am still aprehensive doing it and if I know i have to then I dress like I am supposed to be carrying, nice jeans, collared shirt, well groomed ... not lookin like a hood rat lol.
