It is time to change Pennsylvania and if possible U.S. concealed carry law!
The concealed carry law should be amended to allow permit holders to carry in all places that do not provide armed security and weapon detecting equipment.
As the law stands permit holders may not carry in schools, post offices and various other facilities.

We’ve all entered a court house where an armed officer stands watch and a metal detector is used to check everyone for any weapons. If you are carrying anything like a knife of firearm you are directed to a lock box where you place these items and lock them up until you exit the premises. All doors are secure and no one may enter without being checked.
This is the only way an unarmed citizen can be assured, that they will be safe, to be unarmed. This type of security must be present in all buildings that wish to have citizens be unarmed. Only then can we be guarantied that we will be secure and safe.
In all the school shootings the perpetrators could have been possibly been stopped by an armed civilian.
On Wednesday October 1st 1997, Assistant Principal Joel Myrick chased Luke Woodham down outside the school, held him at bay with a .45-caliber automatic pistol he kept in his truck in the school parking lot. He forced Woodham to the ground and put his foot on the youth's neck. Had Assistant Myrick been able to carry his weapon in school he may have been able to stop the actions of Luke Woodham.
I do not want teachers or anyone to be mandated to carry a weapon. I do want all carry permit holders to be able to carry anywhere where appropriate security is not provided.
It is a right to be able to defend ones self but that right comes with tremendous responsibility and is a personal decision only the carrier can make.
I have a carry permit since I turned 21 and have never had to use my weapon in self-defense. I train with my weapons and seek training from professional trainers who are retired police and military. I am a NRA life member, NRA certified trainer and Range officer. I’m an instructor for Retired Marine Colonel John Farnam and take the right to carry very seriously. I encourage everyone who has a permit or is applying for carry permit, to seek training.
It’s your life to defend!
