Pistol-Packing Pennsylvania Mom Sues PC

[hksw]

I live in PA and also have a CCW--this story pisses me off

why did she allow anyone to see her gun or holster ? she was either showing it to show it off or to maybe intimidate people--big NO NO

CCW means to keep it concealed and not to scare people--it's there if you need it

I hate stupid people

Hmm. It's interesting how some folks do not know all of the stipulations of the laws in the area they live in, particularly when they actively seek out additional allowances like licenses.

The smoking/open carry analogy is faulty. You are free to smoke in a public area where it is not otherwise prohibited. However, the byproduct of your enjoying that right is not only rude, but directly influences the health of those exposed to it. One could rightfully expect to experience a complaint if one were to smoke in a thoughtless manner such as in a doorway. A gun does nothing but sit inert in your holster unless you draw it to defend yourself. Therefor, as it isn't doing anything other than possibly offending someone's sensibilities, they have no grounds to call the police.

I was about to say the same thing, and add the fact that I smoke.

GOOD for her. Hope she ends up winning her case. Also is there an ignore button on this forum?

Yes. Go to the user's profile, and you'll see "user lists" under their SN, beside send message. Click on it, and you'll see "add to ignore list" or something to that effect.
