    We're moving into 1984, where we're in a Perpetual "state of emergency".
    Question, if it becomes the norm….is it an emergency?
    Will (is) it a "catchall" to disarm, or lock up, or shoot, Anyone WE WISH.

    By letter of the law - not Pa LTCF specific. You may also use an exception of 6106(b) if applicable to your particular OC circumstance. Note that using the exception (b)15 must be cautioned unless you have a "resident" license of a reciprocated state. Most PA reciprocated (mutual or written agreement) privileges are granted only to residents of those selected states. This would severely limit use by an NJ resident. Also some exceptions are not useful since they specify mode of carry restrictions (unloaded, vehicle only, etc) antithetical to OC afoot. If you currently rely on a "non-resident" license from another state to transport using (b)11 you would have issues when you alight from the vehicle to begin OC because (b)11 would no longer apply and you would need to qualify under another exception.

    § 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:

    (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).

    (2) A person who is otherwise eligible to possess a valid license under this chapter but carries a firearm in any vehicle or any person who carries a firearm concealed on or about his person, except in his place of abode or fixed place of business, without a valid and lawfully issued license and has not committed any other criminal violation commits a misdemeanor of the first degree.

    (b) Exceptions.--The provisions of subsection (a) shall not apply to:

    (1) Constables, sheriffs, prison or jail wardens, or their deputies, policemen of this Commonwealth or its political subdivisions, or other law-enforcement officers.
