Pittsburgh is the best place to own a gun?

Pennsylvania, the 11th most firearm-restrictive state in the nation, may not seem like the ideal place for gun owners. But Pittsburgh residents find themselves in a haven for guns. Although the gun laws are restrictive for many Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh citizens, the Pittsburgh area is the perfect place for gun owners to make the best use of their firearms. 

Hunting

Bears, turkey, and deer… oh my!!! Western Pennsylvania is rich with huntable wildlife. While deer is the most hunted animal in the area, hunters can enjoy year-round excitement when hunting for rabbits, pheasant, waterfowl, foxes, and so much more. The seemingly endless list of hunting seasons and animals to huntkeeps Pittsburgh hunters busy no matter what they are hungry for. From Saltsburg to Greensburg to Burgettstown, the land is rich with huntable land, game preserves, and eager residents looking to get in on the action. The possibilities for hunting in the areaare expansive. 

If you’re a hunter, the Pittsburgh area is the place to be.
