open carry at the green dragon
Good morning, I am down visiting from ma and was thinking about open carrying while I am here. Living in ma has made me afraid to do it, but what say all of you? I do have a pa ltc.

Honestly, I don't know how people up there are going to react. Remember though there's a lot of NY/NJ tourist buses that come there, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone called in a MWAG. I'll listen to the scanner for the call.

Re: open carry at the green dragon
Ok ill pass there then. Who knew that a taste of freedom would be so scary. I'll chalk this up as a life lesson, and fight harder to get our freedom back at home. When we leave there ill switch I guess.

Re: open carry at the green dragon
I'm guessing that's when there are zero tourists here. I'm curious about this as well as I would prefer to OC since my current carry gun feels like a boat anchor in a IWB holster after a few hours and I'm getting weary of having to have my shirt untucked for 100% of my wardrobe options.

For what it's worth, I do all my grocery shopping at green dragon or Roots and have not had a problem with OC at either. Actually most OC encounters I have had throughout Lancaster County have been positive.

Re: open carry at the green dragon
As long as you stay outside you will be legal. If you go inside any buildings (or vehicle) without a PA LTCF, you will be considered to be concealing a firearm and can be arrested.

Re: open carry at the green dragon
Going inside a building OCing does not make a firearm concealed, and does not require a license.
Transporting a firearm in a vehicle requires a license (from any state) but is not "considered to be concealing", it is carry "in any vehicle" per the PA statutes. One of the chief distinctions between carrying concealed on or about one's person vs. carrying in a vehicle is that vehicle "carry" (transport, on or off-body) may be done with a license from any state while concealed carry with an out-of-state license is limited to state PA has reciprocity with.
Anyway, the OP said he had a PA license to carry so all of these concerns are irrelevant to him.Last edited by twency; February 28th, 2015 at 02:30 PM.

Re: open carry at the green dragon
Neither in a vehicle nor in a building is deterministic as to whether a firearm is concealed. It relies more on the 'observability' of the firearm to a passer-by.
