You should have no issue out in the boonies of Gouldsboro. You also shouldn't have any issues in the General Scranton/Mid Valley area. After the Dickson dozen incident a few years back, all local PD seem to know enough to leave open carriers alone.
Yeah, you think they would, but I've exchanged "pleasantries" with the occasional po-po around here: Scranton, Dickson City, Jessup, Olyphant, and Dunmore cops still have need to give me ****, though none have pressed the issue lately.
I lived in near Gouldsboro when I first moved to PA...from the Bronx. Talk about culture shock! I lived a few miles past town, off of 507, before the 191/196 junction, in Pocono Springs. Gouldsboro is a nice little town...if you're local. They don't quite warm up to immigrants, but are at least polite.
Places you must check out, if you haven't already: Kay's Diner, in Moscow. Best food in the area, period. It's across from Bill's Shursave Plaza. Mendicino's pizza isn't bad, either. There's a gun shop in Gouldsboro, but it's kinds hard to find. It's located behind the small engine repair shop in town, near the road that takes you towards the Army Depot in Tobyhanna. The closest ones after that are located in Hamlin (Hunter's Gallery), and Northeast Firearms (Honesdale). I_the folks in Hamlin are super friendly; the guys in Honesdale are **********.
You have two state parks close to you, Gouldsboro SP and Tobyhanna SP. Both are beautiful. If you fish or hunt, you're in a great area.
Don't worry so much about the LTCF/permit semantics game. Everyone knows what you're talking about, whatever term you use. I know there's a difference, but it just makes you sound like a pedantic jerk, LOL.
Enjoy your new home. I kinda regret moving to Lackawanna County.
