i thought the pa law had a distance away from bait areas maybe i missed it. but someone mentioned carrying a firearm. this year with the proper permit you can. and i sure as heck will carry mine all year with all the stinking bear encounters ive had and all the meth heads running around in the woods. i think you need a personal defense permit (dont bother getting anything else cause if you slip up and throw a shirt over you gun in the car without this permit you will be in for some fines) with this you can carry it worry free in the car in the woods and pretty much anywhere. i do think its silly though that they allow you to cary it while spotlighting now quite the jump from not allowed at all.
