T in PA3....im not sure but i think your wrong. towns and boroughs can say no discharging of a weapon. that would mean no hunting..i know of a township that closed spotting. just because you have a hunting license i dont think that means you can hunt anywhere. i know of townships you cant use a CF rifle. muzzloader, shotguns and bows are legal. the county and state allow rifles..just not that township. townships can make laws and i think they must be followed. if in doubt check the local laws. like if i found a place that was mostly houses but one woodlot i found i wanted to hunt and had owner permission..id check local laws and make sure discharging a weapon was legal. i may be wrong.....but just because your hunting i dont see how firing a weapon would be legal in places your not allowed to fire a weapon
I knew a guy that was in the process of being arrested for discharging a weapon under one of those laws. He had the game warden on the scene and the warden informed the cops that they were about to enter into a false arrest lawsuit. These laws do not pertain to legal hunting and are meaningless where that is concerned. They cannot touch you as long as you have permission to hunt and abide by all safety zone laws.
