Glad you have enjoyed living in the city...what area???

I am in Northern Liberties now. We have a condo in the Art Museum area (that we rented out after 3 years there before buying a place in NL). Before that, I lived in West Philly (Drexel U. area ... many years there), spent a few months in Rittenhouse Sq. and 10 months on Ben Franklin Pkwy.
As for OC in Philly, I have never ever seen it nor have I ever heard of LEO arresting anyone OC legally (else we would have heard about it on the forum). GunLawyer may want to chime in here. I venture to guess that gun-uneducated people are of the same ratio in Philly as any other county (unless you have a concrete stats on this to disprove my perception). The fact is that unless people know about guns and gun laws, they will be deathly affraid of seeing them in plain sight outside of law enforcement. 1.5M+ people here just makes it that much more difficult. I brought up Aran's postings to give some perspective on the fact that OC (and even CC) can be difficult anywhere, not just Philly. Try OC'ing in Bucks County and tell me how that goes with LEO's there. Small town LEO's are stigmatized to be more "controlling" (don't believe me? Watch Super Troopers ... hehe) for a reason.
