Yes. No license need, except in Philly or during an emergency. Outside Philly no license is need to carry a long gun openly or conceal(think under a trenchcoat).

You need to be aware of this PA hunting regulation.

§ 2301. Prima facie evidence of hunting.
(a) General rule.--For the purpose of this title, any one of
the following acts shall constitute prima facie evidence of
hunting:
(1) Possession of any firearm, bow and arrow, raptor,
trap or other device of any description usable for the
purpose of hunting or taking game or wildlife.
(2) Possession of the carcass or any part or parts of
any game or wildlife.
(3) Pursuing game or wildlife in any manner prohibited
by this title or commission regulation.

I would watch that regulation as well. Might be accused of poaching.....even in Lancaster City!

Article from Lancaster Intelligencer/New Era this morning: http://articles.lancasteronline.com/local/4/308676

Knowing the local law enforcement, the would probably try and make it stick!

But yes, 100% legal.

I worry about that statute whenever I possess any heavy or pointy object
