Philly "Only Ones" Interpreting the Law to Suit Themselves

[ImmaculateSludge]

love the nazi arm bands!

[Janiehawkes]

open carry neutral except for class A cities. Phila is the only class A city in Pa.

I think you used a great deal of common sense in handling that situation. Where most people tend to make things worse.

[bobsolla]

you do the right thing, they give you trouble;a bad guy always does the wrong thing and they never attempt to arrest them!that cop was an asshole that thought he had all the answers!

[Spiritinthesky2k]

typical ignorant philly cop.

[ViperProductionsFilm]

Pennsylvania is an Open Carry State - the only thing that makes Philadelphia "special" (aside from being third-class in the eyes of anyone with common sense) is "Title 18 § 6108. No person shall carry a firearm...in a city of...the first class unless: (1) such person is licensed to carry a firearm." Concealed or open carry doesn't even enter into it - if you have a License to Carry Firearms, you may carry as you wish in the city. Period. You do NOT have to conceal it.

Good you got me reading up on the law now, 6109 states concealed, 6120 talks about manufacturer and dealer, 6108 talks about not carring unless you have a license, 6106 states concealed with a license and in section 15 (i) refers back to 6109. Everything I read I didn't see open carry anywhere, Please show it to me to better understand, Everything talks about concealed.

I couldn't help but crack a laugh when the cameraman says 'we'll be getting it from the Lieutenant then.'

[vinmega]

Good for you.

Keep them in check

[sahutsd]

Wow, the unidentified mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, tax feeding thug was wearing a black trench coat with a red arm band?

[usmcbess]

Keep up the open carry man. It takes a while to get used to police confrontations but when you do it is empowering to stand your ground against tyranny.

[MarkR00te]

@usmcbess I open carry everywhere legally can. I live about 2-1/2 hours north of Philly and I haven't had a problem anywhere else yet (been OC'ing since 4-19-10, been CC'ing for about 10 years). Like I said in the other reply, they shook me.

During the event I realized that I didn't actually know which particular lawyer I was going to call - wrong time to have that realization, main reason I "complied". That's been remedied, but he asked me to stay away for now (can't say more right now) :)

[FriarTuck1961]

Guess we need a law requiring police to provide identity info or face a felony charge.

[tyhouston5]

He wouldn't give his name?  Ridiculous.

[GrizzPaul]

[YllwFvrPB]
