Another Law-What is this one????

Yes.

wrong/right/...here is what i was told by another person whos wifey did not have a hunting license buy a permit to carry......wco could arrest her for hunting without a license..say big game season...bear/deer.....or anyother season other than archery.....
 
wco..would have to prove that she was hunting ....lady..would have to prove she wasn't hunting...
 
secondly in my opinion....if they did not see weapon, they would have to have probable cause to search her for weapon...walking in the woods is not probable cause to say you are hunting.."my opinion"
 
Magistrate would have to side with one that had the most evidence one way or the other
 
this info was relayed from a divisional office of the pgc...
 
i was also informed that when a police officer /computer in car/ runs your license plate on a stop it will show that you have a permit for handgun...so wco's would have same access to those records in harrisburg..
 
now let the debate start..

 
 
 
that's why he posted it that way...  !!!!
 
 
not me this time---- I will not be commenting on any PGC rules or laws on this site again ..

If I have a law or rule question I'll get the answer from the PGC in Harrisburg by e-mail or phone... surely not on
here
 
 
 
I will say this though.....  I can go anywhere in the woods I want on my property with my hangun concealed.. anywhere... anytime !!!!!!

i don't lie like some on this board..you don't like it, don't read it, it is a discussion board...what's your problem, ignorant of laws also..????

It is now legal to carry concealed with your valid CHL while archery hunting. 
 
To the original poster, if she was walking in the woods in full camo then the WCO might have a better case but, in everyday clothes on a regular stroll, the WCO would have a tough time proving it, I think. 
 
Personally, I believe my 2nd ammendment rights trump the state game laws and was glad to finally see the law changed re: carrying while archery hunting.  If you were carrying concealed, it shouldn't have been a problem even before it was "legal."  I wonder if anyone was ever charged for carrying concealed while archery hunting and if so, did they fight it at all?

Musky.. had the EXACT same thing happen with our local WCO...

It was like "pulling teeth" to get him to talk about the fact you could now carry with a permit while archery hunting or spotlighting...

He's "hell-bent" on thinking it is going to cause more poaching while spotlighting or illegal shooting while archery hunting..

I tease him all the time about if a deer is shot with a hand gun while archery hunting he has the "stuff" to check the entry and exit wounds for trace gunpwder... so what's the big deal.. just pretend it's an episode of CSI on TV...

and just how many are going to use a handgun to poach off a spotlight ??

As poorly as I shoot my .45 I am fairly sure a deer would be safe at a distance of 20 yards.
