State game land range question

You can use semi auto rifle, but I dont believe you can use an auto loading pistol

Without diving *** into the game laws, I don't believe the law separates firearms from long arms for hunting.

For example, it is perfectly legal, as as far as I know always has been, to hunt a deer with a revolver as long as it meets the minimum caliber.
Likewise, you could use any SBR for hunting, as long as it was a bolt, pump, or lever gun, all considered "firearms" under PA law, not rifles.

Game laws state "manually operated handguns" so no you cant use an ar pistol to hunt, you can shoot them at the range though. http://read.nxtbook.com/pgc/huntingt...furtaking.html

Do they define manually operated. Because I've not seen the handgun were I don't have to pull a trigger.

I never said you could use a semi-auto pistol. I said, bolt, pump, or lever, which I believe are all considered manually operated.

I dunno, permit or hunting license needed for the range near me.

He meant a hunting rifle to shoot.
