permit. Either works, as long as they HAVE to give you the permit after you have daernstomted that you are a reasonable human being. I suspect that prodominantly rural and/or conservative states where firearms ownership is the norm don’t need as much prep work done to keep their liberal minority palliated. In suburban dominated Connecticut, the still pretty reasonable requirements serve to keep the media and loons off our backs. When they start up, we just ask them “was it a permit holder or a gangbanger with a black market Mamba?” I will say that I have seen better gun handling skills among Connecticut permit or hunting license holders that I saw in Vermont, and firearms accidents are lower among folks with some training. Connecticut gets less than one fatal accidental discharge a decade among hunters nowadays. Back in High School in the 60’s, pre mandatory training, I lost a classmenber in my junior year to a hunting accident, and another in my senior year. So I’m happy with what I have now, and I would be happy with nothing at all in Vermont, although a bit edgier in the parking lot of the Sportsman’s Lounge down on Canal Street in Brat, with dozens of flat out drunk “hunters” showing each other the usually loaded rifles they had been carrying all day along with the dead deer in the back of their pickups.
Melvin,
A couple short rules to walk around by….
Without a CCW Permit in PA;
a) You may carry any firearm in an “open carry” view on your person.
b) You may not carry in any vehicle openly, you must disarm yourself and separate the firearm from the ammunition in two places.
c) You cannot open carry in any class 1 city. Philadelphia is the only Pa city.
With a CCW permit in PA;
a) You may conceal and or open carry your firearms as you see the need including a vehicle.
b) You may open carry in a class 1 city(Philadelphia, Pa)
c) You also get over 20 other states that reciprocate with PA conceal laws and extends you ability to carry concealed legal to other states.
!! in nocase can you carry on school property or federal property. There are a lot of regulations to the federal property law.please take a class and become educated on responsible firearm carry !!
This is only the icebergs tip. Read up and stay safe!!

I need a copy of laws to carry and are you permitted to strap a gun on your side in plain view or only if it is concealed on you.
