Where I live back home is super safe; I'd love to have my firearm on me in a city. I am aware it is perfectly legal to do so in philly. HOWEVER. music venue. That doesn't sound wise...maybe there are security checks. I don't get involved in roudy activity at music events, but, I was curious about others' thoughts and experiences around this.
Thing that sucks is of all the things I'm planning to do this year, being in philly is one of the only places where I'd really like to feel that I have some sort of last resort protection (or at the very least, opportunity to protect) against violence. Esp. these days.
