In the state of PA, is it legal to shoot a shotgun on my own property?

Question

Also... is it legal to hunt animals that happen to be on my land.

In this situation, I would have an acre of land, and all nessecary permits.

Answer 1

This would depend on county or city ordinances.  Look it up or call a local lawyer.

Answer 2

Not if you live in the city.  

Answer 3

It depends on whether you live within a city limit that has a ban on the discharge of firearms. Otherwise it's ok. However, if Obama has his way, you won't even be able to own said gun much less hunt with it.
