Open Carry State Park
I have read multiple threads about this and believe I understand... but I don't fully understand...
PA State Park
Handgun
Possess a valid LTCF
I know with almost complete certainty that I can conceal carry, but I am unsure if I can open carry.
The threads I read appear old and there was some confusion if one could open carry, can someone fill me in I would appreciate it.

Re: Open Carry State Park
You can not open carry. Concealed carry is good to go.

Re: Open Carry State Park
This subject has come up several times. It appears to be a preemption violation if you were to get arrested. If I were you I wouldn't want to find out. Some park rangers may push the issue and other may not care one bit. IANAL

Disagree. The licensing statute (6109) had a tweak that basically put preemption controls on all "Commonwealth Agencies". This would apply to DCNR (and DMV offices too). Reps in Harrisburg agree. Big shots in various agencies do not (go figure).
To this date, I'm unaware of anyone who has pushed the issue enough to be cited, thus the courts have yet to weigh in.
(m.3) Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to:
(1) Permit the hunting or harvesting of any wildlife with a firearm or ammunition not otherwise permitted by 34 Pa.C.S. (relating to game).
(2) Authorize any Commonwealth agency to regulate the possession of firearms in any manner inconsistent with the provisions of this title.Get your "Guns Save Lives" stickers today! PM for more info.

Re: Open Carry State Park
If an agency just wants to make you and your family go broke the administrative state may violate the law until the very last appeal so that you and your family are starving and homeless on the street defending yourself just because they can. Laws are made for the citizens to obey the administrative state is exempt.

6109(m.3) was previously used to get former AG Kane to declare that the Gaming Control Board's regulation precluding firearms in casinos was invalid - https://blog.princelaw.com/2015/04/1...ful-regulation

It looks like AG Kane did something right.
