Bump so it doesn't fall off the Internets and hit Al Gore in the head.

I received my PA ccw exactly 7 days after mailing it out and that was about two weeks ago.......   GOTURTBACK

Bump for a card that should be tucked in every New Yorker's wallet.

RKBAR I'm confused...make sure I've got this right:
NYS CCW (w/o restrictions) + PA non-res. CCW = OK to carry in most all the Eastern Seaboard States....right?
Primarly I'm looking to carry in FL, GA, AL, PA,...maybe some of the States along the way down I-75

DISCLAIMER: AFAIK this list is accurate as of 07-2010 but as always prior to carrying in a reciprocal state you MUST


verify that your CCW is valid in EVERY STATE YOU PLAN ON CARRYING A CONCEALED HANDGUN IN.

Look at the above list. You cannot carry in FL, NH etc. with a non-resident issued CCW license from any other state that has reciprocity with FL and/or NH.



 

New Hampshire's used to be $20.  I'm glad I got it just before it went up.

Move to NH. It's still only $10 for residents. I can't really blame them for raising the non-resident fees so they didn't have to raise the resident fees.



 

Bumping this for a buddy.

Is the Centre County mail option still available for both new and renewal licenses?

I just called the Sheriff's office and was told the mail option was still ok for a non-res LTC.

just renewed my pa non res from centre county
ithe old one didnt expire until later this year but i called the office
and the very nice lady said she wasnt sure when the new "show up in person for renewal"
law was going to kick in but it would be some time soon

she suggested to renew now to avoid having to physically show up

it took about 10 days from start to finish and now i am good for 5 years

i lost a few months but saved having to go to PA to renew

So the answer is Yes and No?

I just mailed my application paperwork out on Friday(21st) I'll keep you posted.

OK!
Got my PA permit in the mail yesterday. Exactly one week turn around time.

Mine had three white permit copies and the receipt. Per the instructions stapled to the receipt. Sign all three and mail the top two back to the specified address. Couldn't be easier.

Think there is still enough time to sent out an application to Centre Co?

Are the counties that border NY good with issuing non-resident LTC? maybe just wait for the plastic card?

I can tell you for sure that MONTCO will not issue to non-residents.  They won't even respond to my mail...Bucks and Chester are probably out too.  I would send out the app to Sheriff Nau, give it a shot.

It'll cost you $0.88 to find out... what've you got to lose?

Are you saying to HAVE to open carry if you are a NY res. using a out of state PA permit?

If you have a permit from any state that doesn't have a reciprocal agreement with PA OR a state that has been designated by the PA Attorney General as acceptable you CAN carry in a vehicle without unloading but you MUST carry openly on foot, except in Philly where you need a LTCF to CC or OC.

That is going to go over well OC'd while the libs call the cops.  So now you have to go down in person if you are a non-resident?  I just look at the APP. and it does not say anything about that.

PA has some very clear and unambiguous case law that deals with MWAG calls.  You will likely be approached anyway, but there is very little they can do, guys are winning civil suits and the state-wide LEO training network covers the issue annually.  You may still see problem areas (Philly) but OC'ing in PA is safer than almost any other state.

PA instituted the photo system for our EMT cards...took them, literally, about 8 years to get it running.  By the time it came up fully, the digital cameras they initially issedued were well past obsolete.

Are you saying that a FL, NH or other non-resident CCW that has reciprocity with PA are not vaild to CCW in Philadelphia?



 

No.

3 Situations:
1) No permit/license; OC only on foot, except Philly, limited vehicle transport in accordance with 6106.
2) Permit/license from a state that is not approved by the PA AG nor has a reciprocal agreement with PA; OC only on foot, except Philly, transport and carry in a vehicle anywhere.
3) LTCF or reciprocal agreement state license/permit or state that has been approved by the PA AG; Carry anywhere legal, OC/CC, no vehicle restrictions.

Last call for those mail-in apps fellas.

License to Carry Firearms Applications Via Mail to be Discontinued on March 31, 2011
As the result of requirements of Act 66, 2005, applicants must have their photo and signature captured electronically into our system. At this time there is no manner to complete these requirements without the personal appearance of the applicant.

Therefore we will not be able to process any mailed applications received after March 31, 2011

Mailed mine out last week

Yes, but PA is so cheap and easy why wouldn't you get it?  I know I am covered in multiple states by multiple licenses, but why not add a few $$ in license cost?

Bill

Whatever made you reply to a five year old post?

Well since it's been brought back up: I renewed my last April.  Had to do so in person, went to the Centre County Sheriffs Office (my one car garage is bigger) waited in line behind a dozen applicants, but it went pretty fast and easy: filled out the application, showed my NYS handgun licenses, she took my picture, collected the $25. (I think) and gave me a nice laminated card good for another five years.
I went to Centre County as it was where it was first issued, and I was already heading out West, so it wasn't much of a diversion in travel.
Also in case it wasn't mentioned before, all renewals have to be done in person and you must already have a licenses issued from your State of residence.

Anyone done it lately? I know there is a new sheriff in town. The benefit of Centre county was that they didn't require an unrestricted home state license.

Mine is up 2018 from pike county. Everyone that's closer to ny/nj border says try Berk county same area were cabelas is

For those on the WNY side of the state, McKean County non resident permit process was breeze. In and out in 15 minutes with pemit in hand, no waiting and no lines.

Interesting...  but confusing. Seems to be lots of places you can do it... but only on certain days.

Correct... they do that to try to make it easier for there residents to get their permit..

It was a misteak!  I somehow saw it ad thought it was more recent!  Duh!

Which county in PA is the easiest near Philly? Have a friend taking a trip in April. He said if there is one near Scranton that is friendly he will go there as well. He has an unrestricted permit out of Schenectady County.

A thread which periodically gets dredged up!


I originally had Centre County by mail however I renewed in person from Lancaster County.

I would also be interested in something near Scranton as we occasionally go there for vacation.

Bill

Tell him to go right to downtown Scranton, it's Lackawanna County. I just went a couple months ago for a renewal and it was pretty easy to find parking on the street and I was in and out in under an hour. I was between noon and one and they were in their lunch time rush. There were folks there with suits and others in dress shirts and ties on their lunch hour from working downtown. She was cranking them out in less than ten minutes each. He will need two references and a NYS permit. Might want to call to check and see if anything has changed though.
