Re: Open Carry with LTCF Illegal?
I partially agree, Mitch, with the exception being that the problem really lies in the fact that the people who TYPICALLY refer to it as a CCP/CCW are the ones that are telling us that, because we have it, it's required that we conceal because it's a Conceal Carry Permit. Off the top of my head, I can't specifically remember any instances where a person who properly referred to it as a LTCF was also stating we are required to conceal. Those people who call it what it actually is, a License to Carry a Firearm, are the ones who typically understand that it's much more than a "conceal carry permit."
Obligatory IANAL!

Re: Open Carry with LTCF Illegal?
Spoke with Sheriff Welsh on the phone a short bit ago. It was a great pleasure talking with her. She was very passionate about the fact that PA law gives us the right to open carry. She said no officer has any right to even question us unless we are doing something wrong, or trying to carry concealed or in a car. She said that her and her deputies are all aware of the law and make sure they do their best to keep all the local police departments informed on our right to open carry. I asked what to do if a LEO questions me and her response was to calmly and respectfully inform them they do not have a right to question you regarding your gun and if they doubt you to call their local police chief to confirm. I also reached out to my local state rep who replied along the same lines. Do have to say I was very happy in my dealings with both of them.

Re: Open Carry with LTCF Illegal?
I understand. I correct people when in discussion with those new to guns or carry etc. I would expect those in authority or issuing or enforcing would use proper terminology. Depending on the conversation in my opinion it can become a "Gotcha" or dismissive attitude. Become one of those guys and the dialogue loses it's credibility or impact. Jmo

Question:
Regarding "LICENSING EXEMPTIONS UNDER SECTION 6106"
(2) Members of the army, navy, marine corps, air force or coast guard of
the United States or of the National Guard or organized reserves when on duty.
(3) The regularly enrolled members of any organization duly organized
to purchase or receive such firearms from the United States or from this
Commonwealth.
Would the above apply to the USMC League members?

I doubt it. League members are not on duty.

Re: Open Carry with LTCF Illegal?
No, and it also doesn't apply to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines on duty or NG/ANG members on Federal active duty UNLESS their MAJCOM designates them as needing to carry to perform their jobs. I ran into this while I was AD in California. Some barracks lawyer had convinced the Squadron Fool, an E-2 that couldn't tie his own shoes properly, that California law allowed him to carry anywhere he wanted because he is an active duty member of the U.S. Military and therefore EXEMPT from all civilian laws. I counseled him that he was mistaken and that I would personally end his career if I caught him carrying without proper documents again.
I didn't have to do anything. He went to the local Mall and a local cop saw the gun. End of freedom for Airman Dipshit!

I am not a lawyer. Nothing I say or write is legal advice.

Re: Open Carry with LTCF Illegal?
I fully agree with what you just posted BUT, ( I assume here that you are not a Veteran, and that is NOT a 'judgment' on my part against you, merely an observation) A member of the US Military (any branch or component) will not be carrying a weapon on duty UNLESS his MAJCOM has deemed 'weapons necessary to fulfill his duties'. PERIOD! Get caught with a weapon when on duty, or on Base/Post/Fort/Port/Facility/Whatever and it isn't part of your job requirement to have it, and you are in for a SERIOUS BAD TIME!!!
So, if you couple the law you posted, with STANDING MILITARY ORDERS AND PROTOCOLS you arrive at what I said initially and that is: unless your job requires it, you ain't gonna have it, AND your job better damn well call for live ammo too, or you ain't gonna have that either!!
Ever notice how many folks get shot up during these Ft. Hood type shootings? Know why? I just told you why!
Any Veteran here can confirm this for you.
