LTCF Shoots Armed Robbers - Can't Carry in A Casino...?

Victim shoots his would-be robber in Clifton Heights

CLIFTON HEIGHTS — A gunman picked the wrong guy to confront in an attempted robbery late Wednesday.
The victim, licensed to carry a gun, fired at the robber who returned a volley before fleeing on foot with his partner in crime.
“It is believed that the armed assailant was struck during the exchange,” Sgt. Timothy Rockenbach said, noting the victim was not injured.
According to Rockenbach, a married couple was confronted in the driveway of their home 11:30 p.m. Nov. 30 on Revere Road.
“They were returning from Harrah’s Casino, Chester, when two black males approached them,” Rockenbach said. “There is a strong possibility they were followed,” citing the “little bit” of winnings at the casino. “They may have been stalked. We are checking the surveillance tapes at Harrah’s.
“One of the males was described as 6 feet tall wearing a yellow jacket with a dark hood. The male was armed with a firearm and demanded the victim’s wallet. The second male was dressed in black and standing a longer distance away.”
According to Rockenbach, the victim drew his gun and fired rather than turn over his wallet.
“The assailant did return fire and both males fled on foot towards Oak Avenue,” Rockenbach said. “The victim was unharmed.”
Investigators have alerted area hospitals and turned over evidence found at the scene to the county’s criminal investigation division for forensic testing.
Anyone with information on the incident or the identity of the robbers can call Clifton Heights police at 610-623-3242.

While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

There is no law that makes it illegal to carry in a Casino. There is a PGCB policy that regulates the casino owner (licensee) from having weapons, not a patron.
§ 465a.14.
The Casinos tend to have their own policies that forbid firearms (Like a mall), but there is no crime for carrying.
If discovered, you will be asked to leave or even arrested for trespass if you don't leave. 18 Pa CSA 3503
