Moving to PA

[pepsi71ocean 2]

So it looks like I got the job I wanted and am making my escape.

 

The job is up near Reading PA, and I have to move there.

 

The Waitress at the bar that I went to when i went up there to interview was nice and wrote down a list of towns near there that are nice and worth looking at to rent.

 

 

Does anyone here know of the guns laws in PA, Like is it legal to shoot in your back yard? Or does anyone know of any good gun ranges that I could join up there?

 

Any of our forum members live up that way that I could chase down for friendly advice?

Congrats and good luck.

 

You start to get a bit more rural out in the Reading area than near the jersey border.

 

If you have enough property, I would think you can shoot in your backyard. Hell, you can shoot in your own backyard in many towns in jersey.

 

Get your LCTF (CCW). You can also have any toys you want. Suppressors, SBR, full auto.

 

Just need to go through the NFA process.

Congrats! Go to this site http://forum.pafoa.org/ And post your questions there. From what I can tell that site is the go to site for PA gun owners.

Watch out for the dreaded clip, clop, clip, clop, BANG BANG, clip, clop, clip, clop at night. That's the sound of an Amish drive-by....................  

 

Stole that off another website. 

 

But seriously, Reading is a nice area, there are a lot of Amish around there. Drive around and make sure you stay far away from the mushroom farms, they really stink during the summer!

 

You won't be far from Maple Grove Raceway, if you're into Drag Racing. Go to the Shady Maple restruant, great food!

 

And............ Be grateful you could get out of this nanny state and enter America once again!

Congratulations!

New Holland Rifle and Pistol Club.  Reading proper is a dump. Careful where  you land.

Like NJ, I believe shooting in your backyard is dependent on where you live in PA. Some towns have no discharge ordinances.

 

I too moved to PA for a job, though it's on the other side of the state. Liking it so far, but it's been quite an adjustment process.

Agree Reading is a dump,ghetto 10 mi out of town is heaven. Good luck, congrats

I just moved to PA as well. Central Bucks County. So far so good. I am really liking it here and so are the kids.

I am in upper Bucks. Just moved this year. I shoot off my porch all the time. I am on the forum listed above, same username.

Yeah I second the shady maple part.  Amazing amish home cooked buffet just avoid the 3 o'clock hour when the bus loads of elderly show up for dinner.  That area has its nice and bad spots.  I'm sure if you find a place right outside of reading you will love the country like feel.  Congrats you get to move to real america!

I hope you guys who moved or are moving are registered to vote in PA for upcoming Governor election, Corbett needs to be reelected and Wolf cannot win or else PA will be on the fast track to being like NJ, NY etc....

[anactivegrenade 25]

Go to PAFOA.org and read up.

 

PA is 100x better than NJ for guns... NFA items, CCW, open carry, no mag limits or limited "features".

What he said. PA is in a real battle for our 2A rights.

[CMJeepster 2,777]

I grew up out there. Nice areas can be had outside the city limits. Amen to Shady Maple!

 

Be sure to visit Al's Diamond Cabaret if you like spending money one dollar at a time! ;-)

Congratulations. I hope you don't have any property which you will be required to disgorge before leaving.

 

Hook up with a PA gun group as soon as you move. Don't listen to anyone on this forum except for MiPaFox (aka "phosgene"). And next year when you return to an infant's birthday party in A.C. at 1:30 in the morning, don't tell the trooper you're carrying.

As for shooting on your own property in PA, my step father's father previously owned a home that was on the edge of, but inside Reading city limits. We used to shoot in his back yard and hunt the city owned watershed property behind it. Doesn't mean you're going to able to shoot anywhere, but the entire mentality regarding guns is different over there.

[mipafox 438]

Like NJ, I believe shooting in your backyard is dependent on where you live in PA. Some towns have no discharge ordinances.

 

There's only one town in PA and it does not have a no discharge ordinance.

 

Cities often do, boroughs are mixed, townships usually don't. Have to check. Or just get a can and shoot in your garage.

KY is the same thing

[pepsi71ocean 2]

Thanks guys, it is a shame to leave here, but I'd be a fool to pass this up.

 

I'll hang around here no doubt.

You mean Western NJ.....they have a strong hater presence their.

[Cemeterys Gun Blob 165]

And gun owners are just as apathetic.......

[mipafox 438]

They also own a shitload of machineguns in Bucks and nearly 1 out of 10 people carry guns in that county.

More affectionately known as "Bronx West." I wouldn't live there. I like NEPA close to where I live, Pike County and environs.

[carl_g 568]

Bronx west wtf are you talking about?

[mipafox 438]

 

And gun owners are just as apathetic.......

 

 

Yeah, OMG we had Philly gun-banner Fast Eddie as governor before Corbet. It was terrible, we only had about 3 or 4 pro-gun laws passed.

 

You people would find a way to suffocate yourselves if you woke up in a wet paper bag.

 

Losers in mind, spirit, soul, and politics.

 

Don't come here.

[millsan1 3]

Mipa, not keeping a vigilant eye and spirit will result in PA and other states becoming NJ.

 

As far as Bucks being NJ west, getting your LTCF takes 15-30 minutes in my county. I'll take that.

[mipafox 438]

What have you done?

[millsan1 3]

Go to rallies, speak at events, promote awareness of current laws and events at shooting matches, registered to vote, campaigned for Wolf, ran for office in NJ, engage antis in calm discussion, engage neutrals and take them to the range, you know, not much.
