The "on or about your person" takes into account if you had it in a briefcase, fanny pack, etc. In that case it is "conncealed about your person". If you are carrying where a reasonable person can physically see the gun (not just the print of the gun) that is open carry and is legal in PA without a license (except in Philly).

Commonwealth v. Hawkins, 692 A.2d 1068, n.4 (“In all parts of Pennsylvania, persons who are licensed may carry concealed firearms. 18 Pa.C.S. § 6108. Except in Philadelphia, firearms may be carried openly without a license. See Ortiz v. Commonwealth, 545 Pa. 279, 283, 681 A.2d 152, 155 (1996) (only in Philadelphia must a person obtain a license for carrying a firearm whether it is unconcealed or concealed; in other parts of the Commonwealth, unconcealed firearms do not require a license)”).



Ortiz v. Commonwealth, 545 Pa. 279; 681 A.2d 152 (1996) (agreeing with appellant’s citation of the fact that "...in Philadelphia County, the legislature requires that a person must be licensed to carry weapons openly and not concealed from sight, whereas in all other counties of Pennsylvania, weapons may be carried openly without a license [, but holding that appellant’s argument that this fact then exempts Philadelphia from state preemption statute] is plainly without merit” [emphasis added]”).

the wording closes the old loop hole of while in a car for example, the gun wasn't on him. That's how I've always figured it to be.

I went to trial and was found NOT Guilty! I also was a NY resident at the time. I did not have my LTCF there of here in PA yet.
