Constitutional Carry ......

...... you think we'll ever see it in PA?

Not anytime soon enough..

Maybe after 1/4 of the states have gone constitutional carry.

I hope one day before we die...

we have a lot of public educating to do before we get to that point.

The platform for launching constitutional carry by judicial means is not currently looking healthy:

I'm not aware of whether there are other cases seeking this via state or federal routes.

I've not heard anything on the executive front.

And do we even have such a bill before our current session of the General Assembly?

As to why we don't have constitutional carry:

It's an unwieldy moniker for a state of absence of a law generally prohibiting a, or all, form(s) of carry by prohibition or licensing. Unfortunately, often no distinction is made as to whether the status is simply because of the whim of the legislature or because of constitutional supremacy, and is often said without regard for other more specific laws inhibiting carry. Sometime, the term is used careless to involve only ONE type of carry, either CC or OC.

I would have said..."it's when a state says you do not need a license to carry a firearm."
