Turns out Pennsylvania is an open-carry state. Good to know so I don't have to jump through all the hoops to get a conceal carry permit.

Be careful with that assumption. IANAL, so I won't offer any legal advice, but, for example, I will point out my opinion that there are municipalities that have restrictions regardless of state law.

Also, as an example, see some discussion.

For states with preemption laws, localities can not suppress gun owner’s rights beyond what the state prescribes. My state (NC) has a preemption law, but I'm not sure about PA.

I'm not saying that won't stop certain municipalities from trying.

In Virginia, municipalities are not allowed to have any gun restrictions which are stricter than the state law.

I recommend it to ALL the states and commonwealths (if they don’t already have such a provision).
