The Greatest of All Olympians


King Gustav: "You, sir, are the greatest athlete in the world."

Jim Thorpe: "Thanks, King."

Although he was surpassed by other Olympians two decades later, Jim Thorpe still inspires. His life represents what is great, and what is sad, about each of us.

Open Carry Laws Exclude Sportsmen

Jerry Seyfried, Home Rule Charter Expert
Last month, Philadelphia had to cough up $25k to a gun rights advocate who was wearing his handgun openly in a holster, scaring the hell out of police and nearly getting everyone shot. Since that time, officers have been educated.

Former County Exec Jerry Seyfried is an avid sportsman and an expert archer. It's tough for him to carry a bow and arrow in a holster, but he tries. He's asked me to tell you about Pa. Open Carry, which should be able to answer most questions.

Although Pa. is a right to carry state, Jerry has this caution for sportsmen:
As a hunter, may you carry a handgun without a "carry permit" or a "sportsmen carry permit"? Since this is a right to carry state, you shouln't need a permit. However, game laws are also enacted by the Legislature and therefore make certain mandates on the sportsmen and women of Pennsylvania. The answer to the question is "YES". As a sportsman you need a carry permit or a sportsmen permit to carry a handgun. You may not hunt without it nor may you fish and wear a sidearm or carry a concealed weapon without the proper permit. Remember the website is.....paopencarry.org


Now go whip some shit on your beer drinking buddies. If you have any questions on this subject please don't hesitate to ask me those questions. I'm starting to become quite an authority on this issue. dumdeedumdum
