I've not been hunting in PA for about 6 years, so I'm a little rusty concerning hunting regulations. I've looked at the PA Game Commission Site, but didn't find the information I was looking for. I know that in order to hunt with a handgun in PA, you are required to get a special permit. Does this also apply to hunting with pistol caliber rifles/carbines, or are these classified the same as other rifles? Thanks for any info.
