Come attend this if you can: 2 OCT at 8AM in Pittsburgh at 660 First Ave. Pittsburgh Municipal Court - Second Floor.
There should be gun loackers for you per state law. The man in question, Tony Oliva, Army veteran andwho ran for mayor of Pittsburgh last year as the Libertarian Candidate, was charged in violation of state law for mere open carry on foot in Pittsburgh.

607.06 CARRYING OF OPERABLE FIREARMS PROHIBITED.
No person shall carry in any vehicle or concealed or unconcealed on or about his person except when on his or her land or in his or her own abode or fixed place of business any firearm; provided that this section shall not apply to:
(a)Those persons specifically exempted under 18 P.S. Sec. 6106(b)(1-10); or
(b)Any person issued a valid license to the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act when carrying the type of weapon for which such license was issued.
(Ord. 11-1980, eff. 7-25-80; Am. Ord. 30-1993, eff. 12-9-93)
Since I was open carrying and refused to show my LTCF to the officer he gave me this citation. Considering that the City of Pittsburgh CANNOT prohibit the unconcealed carrying of a firearm because the State does not prohibit it (save forPhilladelphia), I shouldn't have any problem winning this case.
I don't have a scanner at the moment or else I would show you the summons.
And for those of you who haven't read PA's firearm pre-emption (and for all you LEO lurkers who like to read what I write online) here it is:
§ 6120. Limitation on the regulation of firearms and
ammunition.
(a) General rule.--No county, municipality or township may
in any manner regulate the lawful ownership, possession,
transfer or transportation of firearms, ammunition or ammunition
components when carried or transported for purposes not
prohibited by the laws of this Commonwealth.
