    Default age requirement of open carry in P.a

    Just like the title says p.a is very vague on the
    Open carry law. I'm 20 and don't know if you have to be 21.
    38. Special Taurus revolver. Thanks.

    You can OC at 18 so long as you are on foot EVERYWHERE. Meaning no car, bike, train, bus.... You get the idea. You also cannot drive somewhere for the purpose of OC.

    If you are looking for an actual citation of the law, the search bar is your friend as this topic has been covered many times

    Try the search bar here on the forum instead of google. Its right above the green banner and right below the PAFOA/PAFOA SHIRTS banner. Its labeled 'Search Terms'

    It takes a little getting used to, but you'll get it

    correct. You can only transport to the usual legal places. Gun store to home and vice versa, range and back.

    Actually, that is not that great for searching. Try the dropdown menu at the lower right hand corner of each forum page that is labeled "Forum Jump" and choose "Search Forums". That one works a lot better. (It isn't on the main page, but each forum and sub-forum should have it.)
