semi-auto sidearm while hunting?
I'm assuming that you aren't allowed to have a semi-auto sidearm on your person while hunting in Pa?

Re: semi-auto sidearm while hunting?
This was changed last year.
You CAN have a semi handgun (for self defense) while hunting ONLY if you have a PA LTCF.

Re: semi-auto sidearm while hunting?
If caught you'd have to convince the game warden it's not for hunting purposes, including finishing off a wounded animal. Tough to do if you're hunting. Sounds like you better run out and buy a nice wheel gun so you have no worries!

Re: semi-auto sidearm while hunting?
So you specifically have to have a LTCF even if it's open carried?

Absoultely. You can only carry a semi while hunting with the LTCF.

Re: semi-auto sidearm while hunting?
Is it legal during any hunting season? Looking in the book you get with your hunting license it only says spotlighting and while bowhunting.
