    Default Double Carry?

    I have searched through the archives...

    I have read the entire Title 18 of the PA Code...

    And I still haven't found if it is legal to carry more than one firearm at a time? All I have come across is a hilarious story of someone carrying six (a joke)

    http://www.pafoa.org/forum/lounge-10...led-carry.html

    But what I want to know is: All practical implications aside...is it legal to carry more than one firearm at a time???

Tomorrow you're all going to wake up in a brave new world, a world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones, created in a stem-cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags. -- Stephen Colbert

    You can carry as many as you want, and as much ammo as you want.

    As was mentioned in the thread about how many rounds you are allowed to carry...

    The same thing applies to Firearms

    I don't know about hip and hip, but a lot of the people on this forum carry a BUG (backup gun). I would assume probably in an ankle holster.

    The crimes code specifies what is illegal

    Since carrying more than one gun is not there, it's legal

    I've open carried two handguns, one on each hip, right through the Millcreek Mall in Erie. No looks, no issues. I was even on the 11pm news. Again no issues and we were all painted in a positive light. Had it been in any way "illegal", the news clip would have been much, much different. I probably would have been sporting a pair of very uncomfortable bracelets.

    Its tough enough carrying one gun when you have to go pee-pee, try carrying two and going pee-pee. Now, thats accomplishment!

    Yep, always better to ask/make sure... I mentioned it because your post read as if you were looking for where it said it was legal... Not going to find that

    Wish many in "law enforcement" understood this simple concept...

    Always be wary of the guy that only carries one gun
    he may know how to use it.....
