Do any PA Constables want to weigh in on this one?

Open Carry win in Swissvalle
Went grocery shopping at the Giant Eagle in Swissvalle Pa the other day and I was stopped by the store security/Pa constable. He told me that the store owner's/manager did not allow firearms. (this was not a corporate store) He said I could put it in my car and continue shopping. I declined and said it could be stolen. He said I could conceal it and continue. I then said you said I could not be there period with a firearm concealed or open. He got confused and said that I can stay if I cover it. I shopped and left. I contacted the home office and the store manager and was informed there was no such policy. The store manager informed me he would inform the security/constable that they had no such policy and I was welcome to shop there.
Q: Was he a Constable?
That is what his uniform patches said and his badge said. Still do not know exactly what a constable is. But he was acting as store security. I watched him punch out at the time clock as I was leaving.
So if you find yourself wandering about the Swissvale area, watch out! It seems we have a confused Constable on the loose, and he doesn't seem to hesitate in spreading his confusion under color of authority, whatever authority Constables have anyway.
Swissvale is a borough in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, 9 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh.
.While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.
