CO resident coming to PA

**armed_preacher** · November 14th, 2009, 01:40 PM

I have a Colorado ccp. I'll be coming to PA over holidays and I see that PA recognizes my CO permit. I'll check out some "official" web sites to be safe but are there any "real life" "heads-up" issues I need to be aware of to carry concealed? I'll be in the Lancaster area.

Nothing other than off-limits places and PA's use of force/deadly force laws.

I would point out that PA is an open carry state. You can open carry anywhere you can concealed carry except state parks. Ya gotta cover up in state parks. Unlike some states "printing" is not an issue legally.

Yeah, having a couple of those fliers printed out is a good thing because they do come in handy at times.

Since you don't have a carry license/permit issued by PA you cannot carry in a school zone (within 1000 feet?) in PA. That is federal law. Interstate reciprocity does not override that federal law for any state. So if you see a school try to avoid it by reasonable means and certainly don't park near one. Like you would do in any state outside CO.
