When is it legal to shoot a firearm from a vehicle in Pennsylvania?

  1. When hunting waterfowl

  2. In self-defense situations only

  3. At no times

  4. When the vehicle is at a complete stop

The correct answer is: At no times

Shooting a firearm from a vehicle is not legal in Pennsylvania, regardless of the reason or circumstances, as stated in the Pennsylvania Code Title 34 § 2505(a). Option A is incorrect because hunting waterfowl is only allowed during designated hunting seasons and hunters must follow specific regulations. Option B is incorrect because self-defense situations involving firearms would be covered under a separate law pertaining to the use of deadly force. Option D is incorrect because it implies that shooting from a vehicle could be legal if the vehicle is stopped, but this is not the case in Pennsylvania.
