This agency is already aware of, and bound by, the Attorney General's opinion that open carry is a universal right throughout the Commonwealth except where prohibited by the General Assembly - and further, that this agency does not have the statutory authority to ban open carry.

Accordingly, this notice and comment rulemaking is the perfect opportunity to correct the agency's regulations - the regulations banning open carry are void and must be corrected as to open carry.

Correct the regulation change to conform to the AG opinion!
