I took the time ( I think a weekend a while back ) to read the PA hunting rules. I am sure the folks who wrote them had free access to some high octane party cabbage to smoke and made full use of that stuff before putting pen to paper.

Old time Christian laws hanging on. When I grew up you couldn't hunt on Sundays in NY. Sundays were considered a day of rest. Not only for people, but also for the critters. No work was to do be done on Sundays, and many considered hunting to be a form of work. Older people were very upset when the laws changed to allow Sunday hunting. Most were upset over the idea of the critters not having a day of rest more than anything.

The old 'Blue Laws' some of them still on the books. We finally got liquor sales on Sunday just a few years ago in CT. You could get something in a bar on Sunday but liquor stores including beer sales were verbotten on Sunday.
I remember when I was a kid , everything except churches were all closed on Sunday.

Squash,
I understand English and you have not answered the question about the stores being open 24 hours a day.

Most of the blue laws were a good idea, but the greed to stay open on sundays for the almighty buck changed things.

The Chic fil A's and other food stores they want to stay open on Sunday are ONLY on one road ( the I-90 ). This is a toll road that has NO other stores besides food stores at rest areas.
