    I carry all the time when I'm driving my truck, even though it is against company policy. IDC it's only a part time job while I go to school.

    They come from people who like to think they know the law so they can try to sound smarter than you. Everyone's a freakin' lawyer.

    It's like when I wanted to leave my last employer. Everybody I ran into who never worked there said, "You don't want to leave that place; it's the best place to work around here."

    PA DOT MCED, for starters.

    Had a DOT cop tell me it was illegal, so they're not helping.

    You can carry anywhere your license is honored. No distinction between commercial and personal vehicles. Most companies prohibit carry, so conceal well.

    The only problem you might have is if you travel to different states...many states do not honor PA's CC license, but you should be able to OC anywhere.

    I think you want to reconsider your statement...if I'm reading it correctly.
    It appears you wrote that a person can OC (Open Carry) anywhere.
    Well, unfortunately, a person cannot OC anywhere, meaning any state.
