Concealed carry on your own property?
Hubby and I had a discussion tonight about the legality of carrying concealed on your own property. Neither of us have a LTCF.
So the question remains...can we legally carry concealed on our own private rural property (about 80 acres)?? I did a search but couldn't find the answer.
Thanks gang.

Re: Concealed carry on your own property?
Why would you want to carry concealed on your own property?
Well, pushed 60 too hard so now I am the big SIX-OH. Now I can be a real pain in the ass! And, who says growin' old isn't fun!!

Re: Concealed carry on your own property?
The Pa. UFA at Sec. 6106 (a), provides that no person shall carry a firearm in any vehicle or concealed on or about his person, except in his place of abode or fixed place of business, without a license to do so.
Abode noun
A building or shelter where one lives: domicile, dwelling, habitation, home, house, lodging (often used in plural), place, residence. Chiefly British dig (used in plural). See protection/exposure.
If God didn't intend us to have guns why would he have given us a trigger finger?

Statute others are referencing:
§ 6106. Firearms not to be carried without a license.
1. Offense defined. --
1. Except as provided in paragraph (2), any person who carries a firearm in any vehicle or any person who carries a firearm concealed on or about his person, except in his place of abode or fixed place of business, without a valid and lawfully issued license under this chapter commits a felony of the third degree.

"In" one's home does not include curtelage. I think what that means is that your front porch is also off limits if it's not enclosed. "In" one's place of abode means "in" and nothing more. Doesn't enclude all the surrounding property.
I've already mentioned such to my state representative for correction.

Re: Concealed carry on your own property?
If it's your own property why not just open carry? No license needed.
Yes, I realize that wasn't your question.

Please Note: The poster was issued a warning for this post.
If you are on your property who is going to know? and anyone coming on your property to find out is tresspassing, now if you step off of your property well then that's a different story.
