“The right to bear arms shall not be infringed”.
In Westmoreland County, the current Sheriff as well as the past Sheriff have been very pro 2nd Amendment and have made it very simple to get your carry permit.
You can open carry without a permit, but need a carry permit to conceal your weapon... go figure.
I always carry and most of the time it is concealed, but every once and a while I'll put on a couple of holsters and carry a 357 Magnum in one and a Glock in the other.
I usually do that only to make a visual statement and it always works.
All of the concealed carry laws are just band-aids masking the issue that all these laws violate the 2nd no matter their good intentions. Any citizen should be allowed to carry anytime, concealed or not, into/onto any non-private property (includes government buildings) and not have to have a permit. The minutemen didn’t have one.
