OC in Phila Suburbs

[Pa. Patriot]

Sebastian is correct. The restriction is part of the UFA.
Specifically:

§ 6108. Carrying firearms on public streets or public property in Philadelphia.

No person shall carry a firearm, rifle or shotgun at any time upon the public streets or upon any public property in a city of the first class unless:

1. such person is licensed to carry a firearm; or
2. such person is exempt from licensing under section 6106(b) of this title (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license).

9-21 - uneventful OC in Wawa and walking the dog through Wayne. Had one 'soccer mom' type have her eyes bug out as we walked past the movie theater - she grabbed her husband's arm and pointed at my 1911 - but my wife and I just kept talking and walking....

9-22 mostly uneventful OC again in Wawa in Wayne (am and pm), CVS, Radnor Custom Cleaners, Braxtons Animal Supply in Strafford, Mrs. Marty's in Broomall for dinner and trailing behind my wife at AC Moore in Broomall and the routine walk of the dog around Wayne.

I definitely get more WTF looks when I'm dressed like I was this afternoon and evening. I was in shorts, flip flops and a T-shirt carrying my 1911 - I got a couple of wide eyed looks at the 1911 and my face in Wawa and Mrs. Marty's - but I just smiled, said have a good day and went on about my business. My gun just stayed in its holster.....

9-28 uneventful OC in Wawa, CVS, and walking the dog around Wayne

9-29 uneventful OC in Wawa, Sunoco, CVS, lunch at Minella's Diner, walking around Wayne to go to Minella's and walking the dog around Wayne and through downtown Wayne in the evening.

Uneventful LEO encounter in downtown Wayne while walking the dog - a Radnor PD officer was walking around Wayne. He definitely noticed the 1911 on my hip as we waited for the light to change and the walk signal to cross Rt 30. We made eye contact and nodded to each other. We just crossed the street and continued our walk.

10-5 Uneventful OC CVS in Wayne

10-6 Uneventful OC for lunch with my wife in Nudy's restaurant in Strafford, and playing pack mule as my wife shopped in Waterloo Gardens in Devon, Wayne Sporting Goods in Wayne and Micro Center in Radnor.

Got a couple of 'soccer mom wide eyed stares' coming out of Nudy's but I just smiled and got in the car and left.

Now on the way to King Shooters supply in King of Prussia - a known OC friendly environment.....

I gotta tell you I love reading these reports! Tell Tom at Kings his Goomba Jimmy says Hi!LOL!

I'll tell you, I'm really surprised law enforcement hasn't been more of a problem. I would have imagined that PA suburban cops aren't accustomed to seeing it. I wouldn't necessarily expect that you'd constantly be face down on the pavement, but I would have imagined at least a few LEO encounters of "can I see your LTC sir?". Even though you don't need one, I'm just surprised that you haven't encountered more cops that didn't know how to deal with an armed citizen.

Now, try doing it in Philly (with a license, you need on in Philly, even for OC) and have an uneventful trip, and I'll really be impressed Somehow I doubt that would go quite so smoothly, though. The sidewalk in Philly I doubt tastes very good.
