Does anyone know how to help me here? I went to a Wendy's for lunch with a friend, I was backing up to park in a handicapped spot and this kid pulled up on my rear and just laid on his horn. I was pointing to the parking spot but he would not stop his honking. I got out of my car went back had a few words with him and evidently my seatbelt lifted my shirt exposing my firearm. I have a Concealed Carry Permit and I never leave my home with out it and my .40Cal. This kid said "well you don't have to pull a gun on me" I said I never touched my firearm and I have a permit to carry. He called the Police and about 10 cars showed up. One Officer said "did you pull your weapon?" I told him No I never even touched it. He said "You know there are cameras all around here" I replied great check them, I never touched my firearm. I had to repeat my story to at least 5 different Officers. My story was the same each time. They had this kid, well I think he was a collage student on the other side of Wendy's and he swore that I pulled my firearm. I was given back my Firearm and given a $460.00 ticket for pulling a firearm and causing "inconvenience". I have not gotten my court date yet but aren't you also allowed to open carry in Pennsylvania, I know Philadelphia does not like it, and even threaten you, but I've heard the this type of thing was frowned upon and no longer happens as long as you are a legal permit carrying citizen. I'm hoping that they have cameras that prove I never touched my weapon. But there is a chance that it was showing because of a lifted shirt. Is there an open carry option in PA. I have heard there is but a lot of Police don't like it, and if I broke some kind of law why did they give me my firearm back. The only inconvenience was caused by this idiot not just going around me then having 10 Police vehicles pull into the lot thinking I pulled a weapon on this jerk.
