It would seem that the issue of open carry in Pennsylvania is a bit confused. Some believe that open carry in PA is legal, others that this is "grey area" not well defined and still others strongly believe that such carry is not legal in any way in PA.
One board alluded to these two cases; Ortiz v. Commonwealth, 545 Pa. 279, , 681 A.2d 152, 155 (1996) and Commonwealth v. Hawkins, 547 Pa. 652, 692 A.2d 1068, n4 (1997).
As I'm the curious type, I'll try looking into these cases and any other related history invovlved in open carry in PA. If anyone can throw any meaningful info my way regarding this topic, it would greatly appreciated!
