Reading Anthracite-carry friendly?

[IHDiesel73L]

Anybody here ride or four wheel on Reading Anthracite property? Me and a buddy are getting the permits to four wheel there and are planning a weekend to go out there and camp at either Locust Lake or Tuscarora and wheel all day at RAC. They mention no alcohol, drugs, or fires on their land, but that's about it. I'll call tomorrow but I just figured I'd see if anyone here knew. I'm a PRoNJ resident but my buddy is a PA resident and has his LTCF. I was thinking of getting a FL permit but just haven't gotten around to it.

Yes, please let us know immediately. As, Brian Rich (AKA) Reading Anthracite is running for state senator in this jurisdiction. Answer will be interesting.

I believe they allow hunting, so I would assume they allow guns to be carried.

Update: On the waiver form, it does mention hunting. You must show them a valid hunting license in addition to obtaining the access permit.

I believe having a loaded firearm on an ATV is illegal...

I'm interested to know too. Once my Jeep build is done, I've thought of trying to get in there.

@ IHDiesel73L - Off topic, but are you on Expo too? If so, I've always wanted to pick your brain some time on your watergap area explorations.

That statute was modified by Act 2008-131 to allow carry by licensees & LEOs:

18 Pa CSA 6109(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), 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.

I guess some of are assuming the OP is driving an ATV and others a Jeep. I figured a Jeep.

I've found that when I carry concealed, everyplace is gun friendly. Some of them just don't know it. Excepting the usual guberment places of course..........
