Rifles and Shotguns in Public
A buddy of mine recently made the comment that it is perfectly legal to carry an unconcealed handgun, rifle or shotgun in public. I didn't want to "call him" on it, but I know you can't carry a handgun in public unless it IS concealed AND you have a LTC (or you're a LEO, etc.). But how is the law applied to longarms... can an individual legally parade up and down the public street with a rifle slung over his shoulder?

It is apparently "legal" in the state of PA outside of the major cities to open carry. But in most areas it is frown upon and you will most likely be arrested.
Im not a laywer, so dont quote me on this.==============
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
~Samuel Adams
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."
~Thomas Jefferson, 1791

This is perfectly legal anywhere in PA except in Philly where it requires a carry permit and even then you will be harassed and probably arrested.
