Open Carrying on State Property

[Parrisk]

Whats the state of emergency?

Wolfie declared State of Emergency to combat the Opioid Epidemic.. oh BTW it forbids carry of firearms by anyone that DOES NOT have a LTCF, or a hunting license and the person is engaged in legal hunting

I honestly think it’s BS that I have to be 21. Maine, New Hampshire. All 18.
You could even say they are preventing me from excersising my 2nd amendment right. Being a law abiding adult.
“Shall not be infringed” which means, no exceptions.

[DustyDiesel]

Now what is the deal for camping ?

Now what is the deal for camping ?

No LTCF, no carry

[DustyDiesel]

Oh well. So much for shall not be infringed.

[jtwalker]

Make sure you remember this when you vote, now that you are 18.

[DustyDiesel]

Yes sir

If you are stealth camping on PA State parks just keep that to yourself. Same for any other state land. If you aren't paying the state for it consider it illegal. If you carry it in carry it out. T.P. is where I draw the line. I buy the biodegradable stuff. For protection carry pepper spray made for bears. Most Bears don't want to be bothered unless they smell food. Hang your food outside of your camp. Last but not least let someone know where you will be. Remember to register to vote and vote REPUBLICAN so we can get wolf out of office!

You could carry a shotgun IF you have a hunting license. This would require a hunters safety cert to purchase. If questioned you would answer "I am coyote hunting." FYI, There is no camping allowed on State Gamelands unless through hiking the Appalachian trail. Usually not a problem on State Forest land but check their web sites to be sure.

COYOTES: No closed season. Unlimited. Outside of any big game season (deer, bear, elk and turkey), coyotes may be taken with a hunting license or a furtaker license, and without wearing orange. During any big game season, coyotes may be taken while lawfully hunting big game or with a furtaker license.

You can camp in state forests for free but you are restricted to one night per spot unless you get a permit from the local DCNR

Camping is NOT permitted in state game lands with the exception of where the Appalachian Trail runs through a SGL
