Good grief; that is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
“..C&C permits are only granted for the county you live in...”
Pennsylvania used to be this way too. we pushed and kicked and screamed and got the Uniform Firearms Act (UFA) passed in the early 90s; made EVERY county the same in PA. Of course, the fascist douchebags in Philly lost their minds over it, but too bad.
Legal Concealed Carry OR Open Carry, entire state with the Carry license.
Philly cops still hate it, will stop and harass you for open carry, but even the thug police chief told them they have to back off.
The law.... is THE LAW... and they hate it when it isn’t something they like.
