Open carry in PA illegal if you have a CCP.
At the Harrisburg protest I wore the empty holster where it could be seen. The guard at the door asked if I had a license and I answered I did but if it was worn open I did not need one.
He claimed that if I had a license to carry concealed then it would be against the law to carry open. I of course told him that it indeed was legal. Has anyone else run into this mindset?

Re: Open carry in PA illegal if you have a CCP.
Yes. It's another common myth. Widely propagated by the same sheriffs offices that issue LTCF's

Re: Open carry in PA illegal if you have a CCP.
That's interesting. I actually carried my pistol into the Capitol, and checked it at security (Commonwealth Avenue entrance). I was asked about my license too, but when I asserted it wasn't needed because I wasn't concealing, the guard told me that I was indeed correct. He did however ask to see my LTCF as part of the routine while securing my firearm. I complied, but wonder what would have happened if I hadn't had it on me.
I checked my holster as well, but did consider keeping it with me to make a statement.

Re: Open carry in PA illegal if you have a CCP.
I left the gun in a lock-box in my truck. I wore the empty holster as a statement. I went in the side entrance and that's where the guard saw it. And that is what started the questions. He did not ask to see the license.

Re: Open carry in PA illegal if you have a CCP.
Pennsylvania = LTCF
Other states = CCP, CWP, CHL, etc. Repeat after me: Pennsylvania = LTCF
