ill informed autozone employee

Top places to not get advice about firearm laws:

1) The Police
2) Gun Shops
3) The Inturwebs
4) Autozone

1) You need to surf Glock Talk. The best lawyers and judges in the country get legal advise from the leo on that forum.

3) Do the interwebs include this site?

Yes, however verifiable facts, such as the legality of OC can be verified outside of the site in the actual written law. Which reinforces the idea that you should not get your information form the inturwebs, though they can sometimes point you in the correct direction. Don't take the statements on PAFOA as fact, research them yourself and then see for yourself what is, and isn't fact. What sets PAFOA apart from the random LEO is that on PAFOA usually the actual law is posted or cited in law related conversation.

STOP posting and CONSULT a lawyer!

At least it didn't go over your head like it did BybloHex.

I hate to confess, but I think passing out the OC/CC flier from here might be good advice. As I've done several times to people who have come in. Trust me come to the one I'm at and you will not get that kind of stupid comment as the OP. I even gave out a spare set of foamies from my truck to a PAFOA'er when the Golden Trigger was out of them and so were we.

BTW there is no corp policy for customer carry, just sadly for when I work. However of you do OC in my store and I see it -a long convo inc a welcome to come back anytime, and later a range trip may happen!
Out of the 10 of us who work there 3 have LTCF's and 6 go on group shoot on a reg basis.

Don't blame Autozone. I'd blame the Pa State Officer. AutoZone usually looks for people with automotive knowledge and background not firearms or law knowledge and background. AutoZone's policy is to follow the State's Laws as for as employees and customers are concerned.

i surely hope those smileys mean your joking. because i havent been to a parts store other than napa in the last 15 years where 95% of the employees dont even know theres books to interchange parts numbers and if "the computer" doesnt list it, it wont fit or its not in stock. i dread going to those places cause 75% of the time i end up argueing with some snot nosed little dipshit until one of the older guys that can read a book comes along.

LOL... Yup! "Ill-informed Autozone employee" is a redundant expression.
If it's not in the computer, they don't know shit. Even if it is in the computer, they'll insist on telling you that your Land Rover is either a Land Cruiser or a Range Rover.

i doubt if it was actually a state trooper. they usually know their stuff. it could have been a constable or even a jail guard.

Don't blame Autozone . . . AutoZone usually looks for people with automotive knowledge and background not firearms or law knowledge and background . . .

The closest Auto Zone to me is in Saint Marys, and from all appearances that particular store looks for smart-assed lazy assholes and mouthy dickheads. Advance and a couple mom and pop auto parts stores get my $$$. It's a local thing, because the AZ in Philipsburg (PA) has about the friendliest staff I've experienced.
