Saw story on a local Pittsburgh station last night before leaving for work. Seems the judge left a family argument and returned later with a loaded auto on his side. A neighbor tipped the police and presto --- 15 minutes of fame.

Nice also how he hid his face while entering the patrol car,(un-cuffed). Reporter claims investigation shows that the fire-arm wasn't even registered to the ex-benchman. Paper-trail lead police to original owner, who claims the gun was sold years ago.... :eek:

Does PA have registration?

And if it was illegal because it was hidden, how did the neighbor know the firearm was there?

Just curious since I don't know the laws of PA.

Printing? Not entirely concealed? Generally states that require permits for concealed weapons consider even partial concealment by clothes to be illegal without one.

There was a case in Kansas that shot a big hole in the partial concealment equals concealment argument, as I recall.

Does Pennsylvania have open carry in lieu of a CCW?

I didn't think that they did.

I'm not up on PA laws anymore since I no longer live there.
