RE: Concealed carry permit in PA
The logic is, that the state trusted us to carry concealed everyday while we wereout in public...but apparentlydidn't trust usenough to take along the same means of self protection while archery hunting; spotlighting or whilehunting spring gobblers.
If you have a License To Carry and don't feel the need to carry a handgun while engaged in any activity coveredunder the game titles, then by all means leave it at home. The rest of us can now finally carry if we wish to.
Anyone that's ever been a victim of a violent crime and didn't have the recourse of protecting themselves from an armed assailant can explain it better than I can. A family member was mugged and pistol whipped earlier this week for the few dollars in his wallet. Up until then, he thoughthis world was a pretty safe place too.
