Can a WCO request to see my LTCF?

Steve, forget the semi-autos fr a sec. Consider the carrying of a handgun that is legal to hunt with.

6106 is the law prohibiting concealed carry & vehicle carry.
6106(b)(9) is one of the exceptions that exempts hunting and travel to/from hunting from the law concerning concealed carry.
6106(b)(9) says nothing about needing a LTCf or SP
It only stipulates you are a) licensed to hunt and b) hunting or traveling to and from. Obviously this only applies to firearms legal to hunt game with for that season.

As an example, A person licensed to hunt deer, without an LTCF or SP, can drive to and from hunting deer with a loaded and concealed 44mag revolver (legal to hunt deer with) because 6106(b)(9) specifically exempts him from the law prohibiting concealed and vehicle carry.


Exactly the way that 6106(b)(12) exempts LTCF holders from the law prohibiting concealed carry and carry in vehicles state wide.

(b)(9) and (10) are only good if you have a SP;

(c) Sportsman's firearm permit.--

(1) Before any exception shall be granted under paragraph (b)(9) or (10) of this section to any person 18 years of age or older licensed to hunt, trap or fish or who has been issued a permit relating to hunting dogs, such person shall, at the time of securing his hunting, furtaking or fishing license or any time after such license has been issued, secure a sportsman's firearm permit from the county treasurer. The sportsman's firearm permit shall be issued immediately and be valid throughout this Commonwealth for a period of five years from the date of issue for any legal firearm, when carried in conjunction with a valid hunting, furtaking or fishing license or permit relating to hunting dogs. The sportsman's firearm permit shall be in triplicate on a form to be furnished by the Pennsylvania State Police. The original permit shall be delivered to the person, and the first copy thereof, within seven days, shall be forwarded to the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police by the county treasurer. The second copy shall be retained by the county treasurer for a period of two years from the date of expiration. The county treasurer shall be entitled to collect a fee of not more than $6 for each such permit issued, which shall include the cost of any official form. The Pennsylvania State Police may recover from the county treasurer the cost of any such form, but may not charge more than $1 for each official permit form furnished to the county treasurer.


So no, a person driving to or from a hunting spot CANNOT have a loaded firearm on their person or in their vehicle unless they have a SP (or LTC)

Well, there it is

I like how that info is in a separate paragraph (c) after the relevant exceptions... Fooled me!

Yup. I remember what one of our instructors told us while going through the academy; read the ENTIRE section of the law before deciding on what you think you know.
