    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

    No, not becuase I am worried about offending anyones sensibilties or the PPD. Simply because I like to retain the element of surprise, if something does go down I don't need the bad guys attention on me. I have CC'ed everyday, in Philly, Bucks, were ever I may roam in Pa that I can for 18 yrs now. And I just avoid the places I cannot.

    Probably not... I won't say never, but probably not.

    Honestly... PPD scares the crap outta me. If I never have to go into the city again I'd be happy.

    No, not until I see changes. I appreciate everything Mark has done and hopefully things change for the better, but I don't feel safe OC in Philly at the moment.

    I personally feel that the risks outweigh the benefits. IMO, the deterrent/convenience factor doesn't outweigh the danger of being shot/arrested/killed by the Philly PD.

    Carrying as a group is different than carrying as an individual. I'm a strong supporter of Mark though and I gave him money to help fight his case. Hopefully he wins and things change for the better. If they do, I would gladly OC in Philly.
    I am not a lawyer and nothing I say should be construed as legal advice.

    No, I wouldn't. I only open carry in my house or on my land.
    These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Thomas Paine 1776

    Not until the Gestapo's view at the law changes. I'm not in position to put myself in financial, legal or physical jeopardy because of [expected] PPD actions.

    I admire and appreciate Viper in the meantime - he definitely has balls.

    I actually did once. I went to Philly right after I got my LTCF and didn't know anything about the PPD then. I went with my girlfriend and we were on South St. at Jim's for a cheese steak and then down the block to Kildare's for some refreshment. No one said anything to me.
