Actually, I wasn't aware of the other incident but thanks for sharing the letter. I thought the police in PA treated the citizens better than that... Cuffed without being arrested and detained without being charged,detained in the cold for an hour against your will... Taking an hour to run your gun and your name...

I sympathize.. Just unbelievable.

PA police generally do treat citizens better than that, though there's always the occasional exception.

Why is it one of the first questions that is asked is, "do you have a permit for that?"

Has anyone tried to be a smartass about this and pulled out a copy of the 2A? Just pull it out, show them, and say "Why yes I do."

Well, technically, your birth certificate would be your natural permit to carry. The Constitution merely enumerates rights with which you were born.

So you need a piece of paper to prove that you were born?

Yes, I was picking nits. It's not a bad point, though. Your "permit" to carry is your existence, which is a fact independent of any government document, or even of any government.
