No. See this thread from a PA gun organization website:

http://forum.pafoa.org/general-2/39531-can-felon-hunt-black-powder-rifle.html

According to a member that goes by GunLawyer001 ...

Gun shop employees and police officers are notorious for not knowing the firearms laws.

If we read the actual law it seems pretty clear to me.

Your felony conviction prohibits you from possessing firearms per 18Pa.C.S.§6105

(http://paopencarry.org/uniform-firearms-act#6105)

Paragraph (i) defines "Firearm" for that section as follows.

Sorry, but my understanding of the above is that no, you can not.

There's always archery, which IMO is more fun anyway.This is all perfectly correct, and I say this as a licensed member of the PA bar. In case that Official Stamp of Approval helps anyone.

How much weed do you have to have on you to get arrested in pa?

In Pennsylvania, possession of any amount of marijuana is illegal and can result in arrest. The penalties vary based on the amount possessed, ranging from a summary offense for small amounts to misdemeanor or felony charges for larger quantities. It is advisable to refrain from possessing any amount of marijuana to avoid legal issues.


You are currently on letter probation in pa but you live in fl you want to move back to Erie pa would you be allowed if you ask your probation officer?

Question is unclear but I will try to answer by giving several scenarios: (1) If you are on probation from a PA court, BUT you are being supervised by FL - you can contact your Florida PO and advise him you wish to return to PA. I'm sure FL will be happy to allow it and free themselves of the cost and effort of supervising you, so you should not encounter much problem. Because you are a probationer from PA, PA will HAVE TO accept you back. (2) If you are on probation from a FL court but wish to move to PA, you MUST have permission from the court that granted you the probation. Not only that, the "receiving state" (in this case, PA) must agree to accept the cost and effort of your supervision. Not until this happens can the FL court grant you permission to move. In either case - contact your PO and he will instruct you how to go about the procedure. [CAUTION] Without the approval of the court, you cannot move out of the jurisdiction of the state that is supervising you, or you run the risk of committing a VOP.

Did PA have slaves?

Pennsylvania did have slaves at one point. Most of them worked in plantations in southern PA like in rural areas near Lancaster, York, Lebanon, Gettysburg, and Chambersburg. The slaves in PA did not do the same work as what slaves in Virginia or South Carolina did. The slaves probably picked corn or wheat in PA.
