Open Carry in a Pa Park

[netw0rkpenguin]

Any one have a link handy on carrying in a state park, like lets say Big Pocono State Park?

Any experiences?

I know it borders with PA state gameland and I don't want to run a foul of the hunting laws. I do not hunt, just hike but would preffer to open carry my 1911. I'm sure my AR would look more out of place then a side arm (in a shoulder holster).

Look at 11.215 Weapons and hunting:

The following activities are prohibited without written permission of the
Department:
(4) Possessing an uncased device, or uncasing a device, including a firearm,
archery equipment or slingshot, that is capable of discharging or propelling a
projectile, except as provided in paragraph (2) or (7), or except in the owner's
building on a leased campsite, in the owner's residence, or in the owner's vehicle
or trailer.
(5) Failing to keep a device, including a firearm, archery equipment or
slingshot, that is capable of discharging or propelling a projectile, in the owner's
building on a leased campsite, in the owner's residence or in the owner's vehicle
or trailer.



Long story short...forget about carrying in a State Park. Also, if you do a search you will find a wealth of info. This topic has been done to death both here and on just about every other gun discussion board there is!
