Anyone know if OC is prohibited at the Folk Festival?
I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess being that it is a Folk Festival, you're probably going to be dealing with the crusty flower child type. If I had to bet, merely saying the word gun will be enough to make some of these people shit their pants.
Not my personal experience but a friend attended concealed carry,his shirt blew open revealing his firearm and the crowd opened up like Moses did on the waters.He said no other issue not even a call to firearm security police !
It gets pretty crowded walking up and down that sidewalk. You are going to have a lot of people bumping into you, with or without a pistol in the open. I wouldn't give something all the heroin addicts of Kittanning to grab onto. That's just me though.... your opinion may vary
Most likely true. I OC in the area quite a bit over the past couple of years, and until the other day (http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=320738&page=10) never heard a peep. Guess we'll find out. Thanks for your response.Quote:

Was that the one in early July? I OC'd there too. Same result as with you.Quote:
