i live in Bucks County PA, which is about an hour north of philadelphia, and on the border of the awkward line between suburbs and country. a good amount of the people in those suburbs are from places like new jersey and california, and are overly sensitive to everything that is considered a weapon. let me give an example:
i was walking up the street with a martin recurve bow and when i got home my parents told me they got about 6 concerned calls that i was walking up the street with a bow and that it scared them.
and another example:
my friend was taking pictures for class with a camera and a tripod on a bridge overlooking a highway, and he got the cops called on him because some complete idiot thought he had a sniper rifle.
now im 17, and when i turn 21, im going to get a CC license, but i would much rather perfer to do OC. its completely legal where i am to OC, but everyone in my area is so incredibly sensitive to things that id probably get the cops called on me the second i step out the door. its getting to the point where anti hunters run through the woods scaring all of the deer away, and gun ranges are being shut down that have been open for decades becuase some yuppie that builds a house near a range gets his window shot out accidently. ive hoped for some changes, but the only way id be able to change anything is if i get out of this part of PA. but since that wont be happening for years, what do you guys suggest?
