I live in PA where there are a lot of hunters and gun owners. The last time there was a serious attempt at a gun grab was by Sen. Joe Clark in the 60's. Fortunately the people in their wisdom rode his sorry leftist ass out of town on a rail.

I have a CCW permit from Florida. Before vacationing in your state of PA. I looked up the reciprocity law in PA. According to the PA Attorney General site, Florida CCW permits are legal in PA. Also, according to Florida Attorney General, the permit is accepted in PA. To be sure and as an experiment, I called 5 police and Sheriff offices in and around the area I was going to visit. NOT ONE OFFICE told me my permit was accepted in PA. One State Police barracks even asked, "Why do you feel you need to carry a handgun in my county?" My response was, "For the same reason you carry one, to protect myself from those who may want to hurt me."
It seems the PA law enforcement people I spoke with were either grossly ignorant or were just trying to dissuade me from partaking in my civil rights. I am glad I did not run into any of those officers on my visit. Lord know what they would have done if I would have been pulled over by any of them. That may well have ruined my vacation and cost $$$ that was not in the budget.
