Hello I am new here. I actually live in Maryland, but I am so close to the state line that I am in PA alot. About a month, maybe longer, ago I was at a Chinese place in Shrewsbury and saw a plain clothes guy with a little girl and he had what looked like a Glock on his side. Couldn't tell if he was LE or not and didn't ask. He was at the counter to pick up food, so I couldn't see if he had a badge on the front of his belt or anything.
After I leftI was really wondering " did I just see a citizen open carrying?".
I am also wondering can someone from out of state come into PA ( or VA even for that matter) and OC? Can you OC a protective handgun while hunting or trapping ( not for actually hunting or using to dispatch trapped citters- but for the possibility of meth lab operators, or crazies running around in the woods- and let me note thatI am female and being alone in an isolated place could be bad)?
I have heard that oc-ing can be problematic in some parts of PA, that cops give a hard time, and can even ticket you for disturbing the peace if some frightened sheeple call them on a " someone is walking around with a gun".
Anyway, I am just curious about all this.
Also wondering about nonres of PA with a FL nr ccw permit being harrassed by LE in PA, even though PA recognizes the FL nr permit through riciprocity. I can't even pray to get a MD ccw, so a PA nonres one is out. Seems the York co sheriff's dept is unclear on the riciprocity deal and may be one to harrass someone over it.
