ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 2nd day of October, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:
Whether the Superior Court’s bright line rule holding that possession of a
concealed firearm in public is sufficient to create reasonable suspicion is a matter
of such substantial public importance as to require prompt and definitive
resolution by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court?
