PA open-carry handgun rules: 'We have created a minefield of regulations,' advocate says

On Feb. 3, Ashley Curry, 31, of Columbia, got into an argument with another woman in the parking lot of a Columbia shopping center.
Roland survived, and Curry was charged with ethnic intimidation, aggravated assault and related offenses.
She was not charged, however, with a violation of Pennsylvania's Uniform Firearms Act — the state's overriding list of gun laws.
That's because, "She had a valid license to carry a firearm," Columbia police Chief Jack Brommer said.
