    Default Definition of "Concealed CaRRY"

    Hi Folks.

    I am a recent trans-plant from Florida. I was Uncle Sams "Go-Fer" in the late 50's, & I was a member of NYPD back in the 60's & 70's.

    I just received my Pa. LTCF permit, but must admit to Much Confusion regarding what constitutes

    "Concealed" under the Pa. Penal Law.

    Any info will be appreciated.

    You do not need to be "concealed" under PA law. Open, half open, printing or hidden, as long as you have your LTCF.

    While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

    Bobo, did you ever meet Serpico?

    I know you're not him, he's older by about five years.

    I'm sure more than one ex-NYPDer did a double take when he/she first spotted a Pennsylvania OCer.

    Yep, I happened to me as I was walking from my motel room across the parking lot to the eatery. I was open carry of a 1911. I explained to him he wasn't in NY anymore and you don't even need a license to open carry in this state. He was a bit confused.

    My uncle told me tonight... No shit... He was mistaken for Serpico on the street in New York in the 70's while there taking a course. He emphasized he and Serpico are around the same age and it was right after Serpico's scandal went down that it happene. In all honesty today he looks more like Uncle Si or Osama bin Laden. The kids on his bus even call him Osama bin Laden.

    License To Carry Firearm. LTCF

    No mention of open or concealed, except for Philadelphia which thinks it's part of New Jersey.

    Concealed versus open is not defined in the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. I don't know why, but in your case, and unlike Florida, once you have your
    Pa LTCF, you can carry open, concealed, half-and-half, duct-tape it to your forehead, what ever floats your boat.

    "There is no legal definition, so you should stick with the dictionary definition. Concealed means hidden from plain view. "


    And so you know, if you have a ltcf..... that does not mean you have to conceal carry, you can open carry if you so choose.

    Also it does not give you the right to "limb" someone.
