§ 7727. Additional limitations on operation

Except as otherwise permitted under Title 34 (relating to game), no person shall:

(1) Operate or ride in any snowmobile or ATV with any bow and arrows or with any firearm in his possession unless it is unstrung or unloaded.

(2) Drive or pursue any game or wildlife with a snowmobile or an ATV.

Gee, I hope it's legal to OC/CC on a Cub Cadet. Otherwise, I've been breaking the law all season.

[NP1724]

I'd be willing to bet it's just a carryover from hunting regulations and no specific laws for LTCF holders were made.

§7727 of the vehicle code has been pre-empted recently by 18 Pa CSA 6109

(a) Purpose of license.--A license to carry a firearm shall be for the purpose of carrying a firearm concealed on or about one's person or in a vehicle throughout this Commonwealth.

(m.2) Inconsistent provisions.--Notwithstanding the provisions of section 7506 (relating to violation of rules regarding conduct on Commonwealth property), 75 Pa.C.S. § 7727 (relating to additional limitations on operation) or the act of June 28, 1995 (P.L. 89, No. 18), [FN3] known as the Conservation and Natural Resources Act, and regulations promulgated under that act, a firearm may be carried as provided in subsection (a) by:

(1) a law enforcement officer whose current identification as a law enforcement officer shall be construed as a valid license to carry a firearm; or

(2) any licensee.

This preemption only applies to CC. Hence OC with or without an LTCF would still violate 7727 but CC with LTCF would not be a violation.
