    None whatsoever, do as you please.

    (Assuming you're otherwise carrying legally)

    A BUG is often concealed so lean yourself in that direction .A BUG does not necessarily mean it has to have 17 +1 Magazine capacity ! Let us know your choice !

    A BUG is no different than your normal carry gun.

    Don't forget to inform the police you're carrying two guns. Ha!

    The only law you need to know about here is the 2nd Amendment.

    Just have your LTCF to satisfy PA's CC requirement and carry happily.

    Remember, if you are carrying two guns, and a cop asks if you have a gun, the correct and honest response is "no, I am not carrying a gun!"

    Because you are carrying two. No sense lying to the man.

    Some states have a limit to how many guns you can Carry, that's what I meant, I carry a Sig P226... with a20rd mag, I've never had a FTF but I still can't shake the feeling that in a time of need I could have a catastrophic failure that only a revolver can offer comfort,thanks!

    My mother once asked me if I owned a gun, i said no. My wife was there staring at me quizzically. My mother asked again again and i emphatically answered, "I do not own a gun!" At that time I owned four! Hey, I didnt lie to my mother.

    There's a Reddit forum called Malicious Compliance where people conform to the letter but not necessarily the spirit of a request. Makes for some fun reading.
