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?
