Revolver hunting pistol hunting permit or LTCF
I was reading the latest 2 threads involving revolvers and hunting and got to thinking. When I was younger I did not have my LTCF so I got a hunting permit that allowed me to carry a pistol only while hunting. I have since got my LTCF and I am sure my "pistol hunting permit" is expired. Does my current LTCF cover me while hunting with a revolver or do I need to renew my hunting permit? Thanks

Your LTCF works. They changed the law acouple of years ago.

Re: Revolver hunting pistol hunting permit or LTCF
By "hunting permit", do you mean Sportsman's Firearm Permit? Your LTCF covers carrying a handgun while hunting. It does not cover taking game with your handgun. I'm not a hunter, so I'm not up on all the regulations, but AFAIK, you may not take, or dispatch, game with a semi-auto pistol under any circumstances.

Re: Revolver hunting pistol hunting permit or LTCF
I guess I mean "Sportsman's Firearm Permit" it has been awhile and I didn't remember what it is call. I know you can't take game with a semi auto pistol. I just wanted to know if I carry a revolver while hunting does my LTCF allow me to take game with that revolver. Or do I need to get a "Sportsman's Firearm Permit" to legally take gave with a revolver. Thanks.

Re: Revolver hunting pistol hunting permit or LTCF
Your LTCF does allow you to take game with a handgun, provided the handgun used is allowed during the season. Authorized handguns would be revolvers or single-shot (T/C Contenders, etc).
Semi-auto pistols are not authorized hunting weapons, so even if you have a LTCF you could not use it to take or put down game.

Re: Revolver hunting pistol hunting permit or LTCF
A Sportsman Permit or a LTCF doesn't provide any authority or permission to hunt or take game with a pistol, nor is either required to do so. The Sportsman Permit and LTCF only provide coverage to carry in a vehicle or carry concealed. PA isn't like other states where a "pistol license/stamp" is needed to hunt with a handgun. The LTCF or SP is only needed for carrying concealed, carrying during a couple specific seasons, and transporting.
The LTCF is the catch all. The Sportsman Permit only applies during hunting/fishing/trapping/dog training with certain other criteria as well.
If you walk from your house to your fields/woods, while carrying openly, you need NO LTCF or SP. Except during muzzleloader and archery seasons, then you need a LTCF.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515
