Re: Asked to leave The Mütter Museum for Open Carry
I didn't think you were allowed to open carry in Philadelphia. Do you have a license to carry?
While it sucks to be asked to leave they did have that right. Things would have been MUCH uglier if a Philly cop saw you!

Re: Asked to leave The Mütter Museum for Open Carry
Open carry is legal with an LTCF, and yes, he has one.
Not surprised at this encounter. Artsy and museum types seem to be a bit less logical. Although, I OCed at the art museum once and never heard about it.Junior

Re: Asked to leave The Mütter Museum for Open Carry
Thanks for the heads up. I was planning to visit for the first time this year. I guess I will not be doing that now that I know the policy on guns there.
Some people just plain suck.
If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough.

Re: Asked to leave The Mütter Museum for Open Carry
That's one nice thing about the PA state museums & historic sites - preemption.

Re: Asked to leave The Mütter Museum for Open Carry
I thought there was something regulating state agencies in the Castle Doctrine bill? Regardless, when we had our OC get-together in Erie last summer, I checked with the Maritime Museum beforehand, and the museum director checked with the museum commission in Harrisburg. Here's part of that exchange. I'm taking that to mean that we're good to go at all of their sites.
Dear (scruff),
Thank you for your interest in the Erie Maritime Museum, and thank you for checking with us regarding regulations/prohibitions. There is no prohibition against concealed carry for legally registered and permitted guns. Niagara will be in Kingston Ontario this weekend. Next availability for visitation in Erie will be 7/31 & 8/1. If you choose to visit the museum without the ship present I hope you enjoy your visit.

Dear Mr. Rybka,
Thank you for the quick reply. Does that also apply to open carry?
Best regards,
(scruff)
Dear (scruff),
Legal review found no prohibition (except within the Capitol Complex in Harrisburg and certain posted areas such as County Courthouses) against carrying a gun as long as the gun was legal.

Re: Asked to leave The Mütter Museum for Open Carry
Lack of a prohibition is not the same as preemption from making a prohibition.
As to s.6109(m.3)(2) see:
http://forum.pafoa.org/pennsylvania-...9-m-3-2-a.html
and an interesting comment by a co-sponsor of HB40:
As I indicated before the interpretation of the 6109 state agency preclusion is far from settled.IANAL

Re: Asked to leave The Mütter Museum for Open Carry
That's fine. I'm not here to argue law or to derail this thread, just to point out that OC is apparently allowed in the 2 dozen or so PA Historical & Museum Commission sites. And that's a good thing.
