Occasionally I have to pick-up my child from school and I'm CC'ing. Of course I'll leave the weapon in my vehicle but it's still on school property... :(
Dont ask, dont tell... If asked to search your vehicle - promptly get in and drive home.

Re: READ FIRST: Where you CAN and CANNOT Carry weapons in the State of Pennsylvania
I read Knigght's thread and thats the info that I understand. If a business dosent want firearms to be carried, cabellas in hamburg for example, they have to clearly post that at the door, and provide a locker to secure your weapon in. otherwise, nothing can be ssaid, and if they do say something, it still isint a crime.

Incorrect about having to post it.
Incorrect about having to supply lock boxes.
There is no law requiring signage. Signs prohibiting carry on private property actually carries no legal weight in PA
There is no law requiring lock boxes except at court facilities.
Please re-read the first post, particularly this part:
Quote:
Private Properties, land owner and tenant rights prevail above all:
2. Malls, stores, movie theaters, restaurants, bars, etc are private property - they may ask you to leave if you are carrying a firearm, or the may ask you to leave if you aren't carrying a gun, they may ask you to leave because you weren't wearing a pink tutu with a tactical thigh holster, they may ask you to leave for ANY reason and you must comply.

I thought it was perfectly legal to conceal carry in parks and parkland in PA. Hell, I do it all the time in the Delaware River National Recreation Area. :confused:

Don't overlook the most obvious source of information, folks: The telephone.
I had to pick a friend up at the airport last week. First time I've been at an airport since I started carrying. So I simply called the airport police (this is Philly International we're talking about) and asked them "Hi. I'm licensed to carry a concealed firearm and I need to know if I'm able to carry in the airport baggage claim and ticketing areas, please."
The officer there told me calmly that, yes, as long as I keep it concealed I will have no problems and that I'm within my rights in any portion of the airport except beyond the security checkpoints.
Done and done.

Technically, he didn't. He said if you keep it concealed, you "should have no problems," which is true. If you OC in a city airport, it may be technically legal, but it's almost certain you will have problems.

Not true as well. I believe there is an OC thread on here where someone OC into a city airport, either Phila, Pitt, or WB. Not sure...
Found one here.
Another here.

Yeah, the operative word there is "shouldn't". Legally, you're right--I could have open carried in the airport baggage area in Philadelphia because I have a valid LTCF. But honestly, why would I want to open myself up to the possibility of being stopped and questioned? Why call that attention to myself? It's just not in my nature. I carry a gun to protect myself and my family--not to prove a point about second amendment rights or to show how big my balls are.
