Illinois is shotgun only, parts of ohio, south Carolina was shotgun only in the 70's, va east of the blue ridge is shotgun or was a few years ago, now most shotgun only areas allow a muzzleloader to be substituted for a shotgun. glad your happy with pa, I can't fathom a state that is so strict on semi-auto rifles you can't even squirrel hunt with a 10/22
