Have you noticed that you've been wrong about virtually EVERYTHING else in this discussion? Yet you persist in baseless assertions pulled from thin air?Some how I doubt it,
I'm guessing by your attitude, Rosa Parks should have sat in the back of the bus.
Oh, she had the right to do it, but in a decent, polite society its just wrong to go out of your way to upset and annoy people.
Now, you tell me, exactly what is the difference between engaging in LEGAL open carry and Rosa sitting in the front of the bus?
ts not the same... you can choose to be armed, you can not choose skin color. This argument is used on THR all the time... Its BS, stop using it.
you can not change religious laws. A gun is just an object, a religious symbol, is not just an object.
So I should be able to go down to the hardware store, buy a nuke, and strap it to my back... So that I can protect myself and my family.
nukes = arms... same argument as "shall not be infringed"
I would bet that some where in PA law there is a provsion about people watching children "play" that are not yours. That or a loitering law that would apply.
Only if I were a registered sex offender, and or if that were part of some sort of terms of parole.I have little doubt that the Local LEA can and would legally remove you.
Gun-Toting Pa. Mom Gets Back Concealed Gun Permit

LEBANON, Pa. -- A mother who angered fellow parents when she openly carried a pistol to her 5-year-old daughter's soccer game got her concealed weapons permit back Tuesday after a Pennsylvania judge overruled a sheriff's decision to revoke it.
Meleanie Hain lost the permit after other parents complained about the presence of the gun during a soccer game on Sept. 11. Lebanon County Judge Robert Eby, who said he also is a gun owner with a concealed weapons permit, said the law required him to return Hain's permit.
But he questioned her judgment, saying she "scared the devil" out of others at the soccer field.
"Fear doesn't belong at a kid's soccer game from any source," Eby said.
Hain testified at the Tuesday hearing that she did not intend to intimidate anyone but felt she had to carry the gun openly because warm-weather clothing made it difficult to hide a firearm. She said her husband's line of work, which was not disclosed, made her a "greater target" than the average person.
"I'm certainly not looking to shoot anyone over a goal," she told Eby, also adding that she had carried an unconcealed firearm without any problems in the past.
George Christianson, a lawyer for the Lebanon County Sheriff's office, said the decision would not be appealed.
Hain said she was satisfied and plans to take her gun to a youth soccer game in the future.
"People have the right to voice their opinion ... and I have a right to my Second Amendment right," she said. "A gun-free zone says to a criminal: 'Easy target.'"
This is why we need to keep carrying openly as much as possible. If we make it commonplace, the fear will go away.But he questioned her judgment, saying she "scared the devil" out of others at the soccer field.
