Must move to Idaho. I mean it seriously would take some getting use to but I like freedoms and Americana which Pennsylvania has mostly but there are parts that amaze me in the liberalism...

Pennsylvania is working on a bill that would have you registering every gun you own and paying a few per gun ANNUALLY. Not even Kalifornia is that fascist. Our legislature (Idaho) is made of elected citizens that are not professional politicians. They just get paid per diem for the nominal 5 weeks a year that they meet in Boise. That results in far less meddling legislation than you see in states with full time professional politicians.

“Pennsylvania is working on a bill that would have you registering every gun you own and paying a few per gun ANNUALLY. Not even Kalifornia is that fascist.”

Just to let you know about this. Yes, there was a couple of Philadelphia state legislatures that proposed the bill you speak of. Proposing something and getting it passed are two different things.

There were originally six co-sponsors of the bill. When the public got alerted to it, four of the co-sponsors withdrew their name from the bill. There was a huge outcry and protests against the last two scumbags. They are both from Philly which should explain everything. You see, the way it works in Pa is that the majority of it is very conservative and much like a midwestern state. The democrats in this state are pro gun and pro life. The exception is in Philly and where the democrats can snooker the voters.

As for open carry in this state, since there is no law forbidding it, it is legal. People do it while hunting and out in the country. The only place it is forbidden is in Philly (of course) unless you have a license to carry firearm (LTCF) permit. Though I would not recommend open carrying in a mall. You will certainly get a lot of looks. The LTCF permit allows you to transport loaded weapons and conceal carry. All it takes is filling out a form, and having two friends that will say what a nice guy you are. You give $25 to the county sherriff’s office and you get an LTCF.

This is from Pa’s state constitution: section 21

“The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.”

short and to the point, sweet...
