    Default Hunting with a semi-auto?

    Hi all. I used to hunt squirrels when I lived in Vermont (great eating), but I haven't had the chance since I moved to PA. The other day, someone told me that it's illegal to hunt with a semi-auto in PA... Is this true? The only gun I have that is appropriate for squirrels is a Ruger 10/22. Can I not hunt with it in PA?
    Everyone should have an AK-47

    You cannot hunt squirells in Pa with a semi .22. I do not know of anything you can hunt with a semi rifle.

    ducks with shotgun?
    The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.

    Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

    Yes. Birds and small game are legal with semi-shotties.



    Absolutely NO semi-auto rifles, well unless you want to cut off a hand.

    Don't worry you don't need a semi auto in Pa. There isn't any deer left here anyway.

    Well, I do have a shotgun... But the one time I got a squirrel with it, I regretted it... I kept biting pellets that I'd missed while cleaning it. I'm not okay with that. Damn. Maybe I can borrow bolt-action from my neighbors.

    I paid $99 for a Mossberg 802 Plinkster at Dicks, last year.

    The shitty part is that I had one of those about 2 years ago... And I sold it. Now I wish I hadn't.

    What kind of trouble do you get in for hunting with a semi?
