    Default Sportsman's Firearm Permit

    I was wondering if I could carry a semi-auto pistol while fishing. I have my Sportsman's Firearm Permit and I'm 18. I know you can open carry manual operated handguns but wasn't sure on semi-auto pistols. Thanks

    Huh? Can you yell a little louder? I can't hear you!

    Who can apply for a Sportsman’s Firearm Permit?

    An individual who is age 18 or older and is licensed to hunt, trap or fish, or who has been issued a permit relating to hunting dogs, may apply for a Sportsman's Firearm Permit by submitting a completed application along with the required fee to the county treasurer's office. The permit shall be issued immediately and be valid throughout this Commonwealth for a period of five years from the date of issue for any "legal firearm", when carried in conjunction with a valid hunting, furtaking or fishing license, or permit relating to hunting dogs. The issuances of a Sportsman’s Firearm Permit allows the individual to carry a firearm if such persons are actually hunting, taking furbearers, fishing or training dogs, or are going to the places where they desire to hunt, take furbearers, fish, or train dogs during the regular training season, or returning from such places. A Sportsman's Firearm Permit is NOT a License to Carry a firearm concealed.
