RE: Interesting Changes in PA
I may be mistaken, but I don't think we are talking about carrying a muzzleloader and a bow. My impression was that with the carry law if you have a handgun concealed weapons permit you could carry a sidearm. I doubt that muzzleloaders fall into the concealed weapons category.
My problem with this is that you can carry a .44 or .357 mag with a scope as a "sidearm" if you have your carry permit while bowhunting. I know a lot of guys that wouldn't hesitate to poke that big buck that walks by at 75 yards with a handgun.
