Open carry in PA Michaux state forest
I am going hiking over the weekend in Michaux state forest in PA. I do not have my LCTF yet but have applied. I was wondering if I was allowed to open carry at a PA state forest while hiking. I understand that a state park you need to have a LCTF and carry concealed but I just cant seem to find anything definite on a state forest.

Re: Open carry in PA Michaux state forest
I'm not sure about rules specifically for state forests, but right now ALL open carry requires an LTCF as we're under a "state of emergency".

Furthermore, an oddity in our laws permits you to open carry without a LTCF but you are only permitted to transport your firearm to and from a gun range or gunsmith and probably a gun shop to buy or sell. That precludes a non licensed owner from taking his piece anywhere and open carrying it unless you go there on foot.

Re: Open carry in PA Michaux state forest
State forests have no requirement for how you carry as long as it is lawful. I was OCing in Pincot SF this afternoon while looking for fungus and fiddleheads with my daughter.
But, as mentioned, you do need a LTCF for several reasons:
1) It is required, even to OC, during a State of Emergency, which we've been in for a couple of years due to opioids in PA, and
2) You don't need a LTCF to OC in PA. But, unless you meet one othe exempted activities (transporting firearm home, to repair shop, to range, etc.) you need a LTCF to transport it anywhere else. Transporting, even unloaded, to a location to OC is NOT exempt.
Do yourself a favor...get your LTCF.Sed ego sum homo indomitus
