This was the Hobson case where the court ruled that a PA resident is not "any person".

Re: New Hampshire Non Resident
Conceal carry. Open carry would still be legal (except in philthy,) however with the "state of emergency" declared for drugs there's still a huge question mark about if even THAT is valid.

Re: New Hampshire Non Resident
I'm trying to parse through all the twists and turns, but I *think* we're ok to open carry on a non-res license, by wording of § 6107(b)...
(b) Seizure, taking and confiscation.--Except as otherwise provided under subsection (a) and notwithstanding the provisions of 35 Pa.C.S. Ch. 73 (relating to Commonwealth services) or any other provision of law to the contrary, no firearm, accessory or ammunition may be seized, taken or confiscated during an emergency unless the seizure, taking or confiscation would be authorized absent the emergency.
If the "emergency" didn't exist, we could open carry on NH or UT permits (I'm not sure about a VA non-res permit, since reciprocity was yanked from them.) So by that, the declared state of emergency is itself insufficient grounds to detain someone for open carry at this time.

Re: New Hampshire Non Resident
Your red highlight above is a Katrina-like safety valve to prohibit confiscation predominately from dwellings doing a SoE. OC during a SoE on public roads/property is prohibited:
§ 6107.**Prohibited conduct during emergency.
(a)**General rule.--No person shall carry a firearm upon the public streets or upon any public property during an emergency proclaimed by a State or municipal governmental executive unless that person is:
(1)**Actively engaged in a defense of that person's life or property from peril or threat.
(2)**Licensed to carry firearms under section 6109 (relating to licenses) or is exempt from licensing under section 6106(b) (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license).
Except as otherwise provided under subsection (a)IANAL

Re: New Hampshire Non Resident
Ok, then my question is, where's the language that says OC is legal period. Or is this a case of defacto legal because it's NOT EXPLICITLY ILLEGAL. For some reason I couldn't find the statute that affirmed OC as being legal on *any* valid permit, not just one issued by PA.

Re: New Hampshire Non Resident
While Pennsylvania has a specific law that requires a License To Carry Firearms for the concealed carry of a firearm, and the carry of firearms in vehicles, the law is silent on the legality of openly carrying a firearm in other situations, making it de-facto legal.
There is however a law that requires a License To Carry Firearms to carry either way in "cities of the first class", which as defined by law is only the city of Philadelphia.
18 Pa.C.S. § 6108: Carrying firearms on public streets or public property in Philadelphia
No person shall carry a firearm, rifle or shotgun at any time upon the public streets or upon any public property in a city of the first class unless:
(1) such person is licensed to carry a firearm; or
(2) such person is exempt from licensing under section 6106(b) of this title (relating to firearms not to be carried without a license).
To summarize, open carry is legal in Pennsylvania without a License To Carry Firearms except in "cities of the first class" (Philadelphia) and vehicles where a License To Carry Firearms is required to do so.
With that said, we would like to point out that there is much debate among firearm owners about whether openly carrying firearms is really a good idea. While we will leave that choice to the individual we will state that in many urban areas (namely Philadelphia) doing so will draw unwanted attention from law enforcement that may include (but not be limited to) the following repercussions:
Being stopped and questioned by law enforcement.
Having your License To Carry Firearms seized and sent back for revocation.
Being arrested either improperly or for other charges like disturbing the peace or creating a public nuisance.
While this may not happen should you choose to carry openly, many urban law enforcement officers we have talked to have expressed a very negative opinion towards the idea. Some have suggested that law enforcement will do everything in their power to make your life difficult should you choose to.
