I only mentioned it because the OP's just getting into carrying and he might as well get started right. PA has a LTCF, not CCW... and if you say anything other than LTCF to someone 'in the know', they'll scold ya for it. lol. It's just semantics, nothing more.
this is completely a matter of opinion. i happen to agree with you on it. i have nothing against open carry but i'd rather conceal. people who advocate Open Carry have a very strong and valid argument that OC is the better way to carry and gets more accomplished. personal preference all the way.
this is incorrect. philly is a city of the first class, but this changes nothing about PA's gun laws except for the fact that people who choose to open carry need to have a License To Carry Firearms (where the semantics come into play) whereas in the rest of the commonwealth, you can open carry with no license at all while on foot. |
ok so i thought ltcf is just another way of saying you can ccw with exceptions like philly.
so your pretty much your telling me since i have a ltcf i cannot carry concealed? if not true, as far as im concerned i have a concealed carry permit, since its legal to carry it concealed in every city.
so if thats all true, whats the difference between a ltcf or ccwp? you can open carry with both, and you can conceal carry with both, unless you cant open carry in philly with a ccw permit.
