oc/cc in Core Creek Park
Anyone know if you're allowed to oc/cc there ?
I entered the park & didn't see any signs prohibiting firearms,although I know you're not allowed to hunt there. I went in shed hunting & after about an hour saw a sign posted at the edge of one of the cornfields stating no hunting or fierarms.
If you're not allowed why would they put the sign in such an obscure place & not at the entrance ?

Core Creek Park is a county park. If there is a prohibition on the possession of firearms in the park, whether concealed or open, it is in violation of 18 PA C.S. §6120.

Yeah,that's what I'm trying to find out,if there is indeed a prohibition of firearms or not. For now I'm erring on the side of caution by not carrying there, but I know where I was there's always an outside chance of a coyote encounter

Re: oc/cc in Core Creek Park
As mentioned, they could have signs, a blimp, a laser show and a cop standing at the entrance telling you firearms are prohibited... doesn't matter
It is LEGAL
http://reference.pafoa.org/statutes/...nd-ammunition/
(a) General rule.--No county, municipality or township may in any manner regulate the lawful ownership, possession, transfer or transportation of firearms, ammunition or ammunition components when carried or transported for purposes not prohibited by the laws of this Commonwealth.

Re: oc/cc in Core Creek Park
Thanks to all. Years ago a friend of mine was going through that park in his Ford Ranchero,he had a cap on the back & it was loaded with so much junk he didn't even know what was back there but a park ranger stopped him & asked if he could check his vehicle,he said yes,ranger found my buddy's compound bow,no arrows, underneath a bunch of junk,ranger took the bow & he was issued a nice fine for "hunting" on park property. Never got the bow back either.
