    Default Carry at the PA Convention center in Philly?

    I have a show to go to on Thursday. Last time I was there it was nothing---just making sure there's no metal detectors there or anything like that. I refuse to go there unarmed.

    Have a feeling only the tattoo convention has metal detectors or wanding.

    I was just there. It was a minor event, however there were no prohibiting signs, and no wanding or other security etc. to enter. jtrelf is correct however. The tattoo convention does have wanding for everyone on entry. That is the only show that I know for sure they have such measures for. Everything else I have been too in recent years was a just walk right in kind of thing. That said, as with most places in Philly, open carry is a bad idea unless you "want" to be accosted by Philly's finest.

    Carson should give us business cards in case we get accosted but his buddies.
