Hey everyone,
I am trying to plan a camping trip to Pennsylvania over the summer. I am a NJ resident and would like a place to bring a shotgun for bear defense. My main camping location is Wyoming State forest in PA. We had a bear in our campsite twice and we followed all the bear-proofing rules. Turns out the idiots .25 miles down the road from us were feeding the damn thing.
So anyway, what are the rules concerning firearms in state forests? Are the prohibited or is that just National parks?
If I cannot camp there with a firearm, can someone recommed a place that I can camp? Also, what does a NJ resident need to do to be legally capable of possessing a firearm in the woods of PA? Do I need a hunting permit even though I wont be hunting?
Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
