from the article on the woman toting her gun to the soccer game:

Greg Rotz of Pennsylvania Open Carry said there is even some question about whether guns can be prohibited in schools. The law banning them also says guns may be used "in conjunction with a lawful supervised school activity or course or if possessed for other lawful purpose."

Rotz said the more people openly carry guns, the safer society will be. He hopes the ruling in Lebanon County will encourage more people to carry guns.

When asked what parents should do if they want gun-free soccer games, he answered, "They don't have that right."

It seems to me that an openly armed society is a less-safe one, since openly armed citizens are naturally going to be less trustful of each other. If they had some trust that random strangers weren't going to suddenly assault them, they wouldn't need to be openly armed, right?
