Open Carry in Luzerne co. Particulary Mtn. Top and Wilkes-Barre

[Kemikal]

I live in wilkes barre, south wilkes barre if they had that on the check box on why i want my LTCF id just check that LOL, i will say this, as i am JUST turning 21, in my understanding of knowing some of the w-b pd here, i plan to not open carry at my age, out and about, around my house sure MAYBE in the yard, but i think ill wait a little bit longer before i venture out with heat in the wind. btw i think januuzi's pizza closing on the corner of carry ave, dropped the crime rate on that block by 80% LOL but back to my point, i just believe i look suspect for my age correct me if im wrong maybe ill feel better about it when i try it i just dont know yet my dad has his LTCF he never opened carried, this actually brings me to another question, why does my father have a problem with my getting my LTCF, im married im on my own, i mean whats the big deal he has one, i want to goto the range, if anything it should make him feel better because of my not soo hot neighborhood any comments?

why does my father have a problem with my getting my LTCF, im married im on my own, i mean whats the big deal

Because, despite everything (21, married, on your own, etc.), you're still his little boy, not his grown-up son. He'll get used to it, it just takes time.

well i sure hope so, i wanted to use this to bond with him go to the range etc, when i told him what i was doing he hasn't called or talked to me since, i don't know what hes trying to do or prove?

Mountain Top Fire Dept (to vote) was originally told I could not carry there by the constable. Told him he was mistaken per my understanding of the law. He checked with the county who told him it was "up to him". He let me vote. Sending follow-up letters to County to correct their information.

I missed that shooting on Academy Street by about ten minutes, and I'm sure the guy eyed me while I was at the Sunoco right across the street. I'm disgusted with the gunplay by the gang-bangers and wanna-be thugs on W-B streets right niw.

The locals better NOT have a problem with me open carrying!

It sounds like they generally don't have an issue, so that is good news.
