| On Packing.org, I notice that if you are applying for a non-resident PA permit, you have to show the sheriff a permit to carry from your state of residence (if your state issues them). What happens if you live in a cesspool like Maryland, which technically issues permits, but only to the politically well connected? For the regular unwashed masses who don't have a MD permit, would we still be able to get a PA non-resident permit? Does PA consider "may-issue" to be the same as "shall issue" in this case? |

I believe its a no go . From Packin Org .>>> The Sheriff of Centre Co. PA., Denny Nau, will issue Via mail to Non Residents of Pennsylvania. (You must have a permit from your state of Residence if your state issues permits) Residents of Pennsylvania must apply to the sheriff of the county they live in. Instructions are available from the Site below. <<< http://www.packing.org/state/pennsylvania/#offices Do not hot link . |

it doesn't matter if your state is may issue or shall issue you can't get a PA permit if you don't have one from your home state unless your state doesn't have a permit. Before I moved to PA I had the same problem living in New Jersey and I couldn't get a PA permit so I got a Florida one instead. A FL permit has reciprocity with alot more states than PAso FL is actually a better permit anyway. FL issues to anyone wether they have a permit or not |
Florida doesn't make a distinction between a resident and non resident permit they are both the same. Just go by wether the other state accepts out of state permits which PA does and as do most others. |
