Howdy. Tomorrow me and my dad are going to go buy a Ruger Mini-14 and a S&W AR-15. My dad is being extremely stubborn and insists on going down to holtwood somewhere and shoot into the river on either public land or ConRail property. I want to go to a state range but he really doesn't want to because he thinks it's boring. What kind of trouble could you get into with shooting on public land/conrail property? |

All states have different laws about shooting and where you can shoot at. I would look up the PA state laws first if I were you. If you get permission to shoot on private property then you are allowed to but state land is a different story. Best bet is to look it up before you head out tomorrow. simplest trouble is none, max trouble could be loss of firearms and hefty fine if not jail time. When in doubt look up the laws and stick to a shooting range. |

Alright thanks. I tried looking for it and got pretty much the same info you told me...I just wasn't entirely sure. Lots of vague information on the internet. |

No problem. Sorry I could not quote the exact law, federal law is much easier than state law in my opinion. Have fun shooting and be safe. |

In PA all water ways are public land unless you own the origin and then downstream on both sides. If someone else owns the other side then the water is public and so is about 3' of the bank. And conrail has no sense of humor if your caught, they do prosicute. SSD is right on the money - Go to a range. And its not just guns they can confiscate. They can take your gear, anything in any field bag you have, even your car. Be safe. |
