state of emergency?
I looked around this site for about 15 minutes and cannot see where the rules for OC/CC change during a state of emergency (SOE)? Given we are gonna get wacked by Sandy (at least here in the eastern part), can anyone post a link or a clarification of how the rules for firearms change during a declared SOE? Thanks

I thought it was just you need a valid LTCF to open carry.

Ch. 73 (relating to Commonwealth services) or any other provision of law to the contrary, no firearm, accessory or ammunition may be seized, taken or confiscated during an emergency unless the seizure, taking or confiscation would be authorized absent the emergency.
