It sounds like the guy IS breaking the law, but the cops don't wish to deal with it. There is a VERY lengthy discussion (now locked)on the Pennsylvania Firearms Owners Association forum about a young man who was arrested and charged with Reckless Endangerment because he was walking through a residential neighborhood with a loaded AR-15, allegedly with the safety in the FIRE position. Yes, he was legal to own the rifle, and yes open carry is legal in Pennsylvania. But someone complained, and the responding officer felt (and I agree) that walking around a densely built area in combat patrol mode with a loaded weapon that's not on SAFE does put people potentially in danger, and is reckless.
The guy in PA was just walking, and he has been charged. Your neighbor is SHOOTING, and the police don't think it's against the law? They need to open the law book.
