I,ll be visiting north of the burgh this weekend. My only question is: being from out of state can i oc in pa. or is residency required.
Residency is not required for OC in PA. However, keep in mind there is no OC in a vehicle in PA. As long as you have a permit to carry from any state you will be ok while driving around.
