Re: Can I conceal carry in PA as an Ohio resident with a license?
That topic pops up here on occasion. What is recommended if the LEO asked specifically, 'Do you have a gun in the vehicle or on your person?'
I want them to ask if there are any illegal items or guns in the vehicle on on my person, to which I would respond, 'There is nothing illegal in the vehicle or on my person officer.'
Is Ohio still a duty to inform state?

Re: Can I conceal carry in PA as an Ohio resident with a license?
The idea is that the LEO knows 1. you have an LTC so you may be carrying and 2. if you indeed are, you have a duty to inform.
So, if you don't inform them, the LEO will want to know why, and there are three possibilities: 1. you are just not carrying. 2. you forget your duty to inform. 3. you intentionally hide it.
On the other hand, because they will know it anyway, you can just say "I have an LTC but I'm not carrying it now" to eliminate possibility 2. Because it's you who mentioned it upfront, they will likely also rule out possibility 3.
I can see it probably isn't a problem here, as there is no duty to inform in the first place, so the LEO won't expect you to mention it. I'm just curious if they know it without us mentioning it anyway.

Re: Can I conceal carry in PA as an Ohio resident with a license?
PA's LTCF(or other states) info isn't tied to your drivers license or vehicle registration in PA. If dispatch or the LEO computer only pulls up you DL info, they will not get any info on whether you are a LTCF holder. However, dispatch and LEO's can do an additional search(different database) for LTCF status when doing the DL query.
On my scanner I've heard dispatch/911 center notify the officer both ways(licensed or not), and I've heard dispatch/911 center only give pertinent info only about the persons DL.
You aren't required to notify an LEO in Pennsylvania. That is a personal choice you should make. It has gone good and gone bad with either methodology for some people.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: Can I conceal carry in PA as an Ohio resident with a license?
Agreed this is definitely a non-issue in PA.
I just wanted to explain why in a duty-to-inform state some believe it's a good idea to always mention the license even when not carrying. If somebody is going to drive to MI or NC, both duty-to-inform states, they might find this discussion informative.

Is Ohio still a duty to inform state?
The answer is "No". There is no longer a requirement to inform law enforcement that you are carrying a firearm in Ohio.Engineers make things idiot proof! Evolution makes better idiots!
