I live in Pa. I applied for my concealed carry permit and was denied for a misdemeanor possession of a small amount of marijuana charge that involved no violence, distribution of the controlled substance or anything dangerous to any other member of society. Its absolutely ridiculous I m curious to what people think about the idea of open carry. I bought a Smith and Wesson SD 40 ve to protect myself and my family at home, and I feel that I should be able to carry it with me outside the house, and the only legal way that I am able to carry it is open. I m seriously considering open carry. Any thoughts on if its worth getting harassed by police and possibly asked to leave certain establishments, in order to protect myself, my family and innocent people if absolutely necessary?
