When I lived in FL, the laws were listed on a website and it was pretty simple to follow. Not so here in PA. Nothing on any official website anywhere and a trip to the library turned up a law book from 1978 which I'm sure is outdated by now.
Some basic questions: Is all government property off-limits or only polling places and court houses?
What about private property like an amusement park? Or zoo?
Calling them up ahead of time doesn't do much good because most of the time the person on the other end of the phone is an anti who has never even heard of the CCW provision in the law and goes into a panic as soon as a gun is mentioned.
Final question ... can I open carry on my own property? I live in the middle of nowhere with woods all around me. When taking the dog out in the backyard, I normally have a gun with me in case something comes out of the woods. Sometimes I don't bother to holster up and just have flashlight in one hand and a firearm in the other hand because it's only going to take a few minutes.
Other families are starting to move in around me. If someone saw me with gun in hand on my own property and reported me, would I be in violation of some law? Do I need to invest in a concealed holster even for my own property.
