We should rent a bus and make it a "PA Non-Resident Permit Renewal NES Road Trip!"
And have a few people bring wireless hotspot phones so we can all post about the trip...to each other...in the bus.

If you are applying to the Centre County Sheriff, you do not need to provide a photo. The license you receive will say "Valid Without Photo" on it. On your renewal, after the law has taken effect, your photo will be on the license.
The license you receive will be a piece of paper. The Sheriff told me in writing that it's OK to photocopy it smaller and laminate it, which is what I have done with mine.. I've had a PA license from Centre County for several years.
Can we mark more than one specific reason?

I just checked off "self defense".
So when is the deadline?
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ON LICENSE TO CARRY FIREARM
ACT 66 2005 THE STANDARDIZATION & MODERNIZATION OF PROCESS SYSTEM
This new statewide system will change the method of completing the application and the manner the Sheriff issues the newly developed identification type license to carry a firearm.
Once implemented the applicant will have to appear at the Sheriff’s Office where their driver’s license will be electronically scanned to capture needed data. The applicant will also have to be photographed and sign the electronic signature pad to complete the process. The system need be compatible with the Commonwealth’s Information Technology Standard.
By law the new system must be implemented no later than May 2011, however it is expected that all Sheriffs will have the new system in place by the end of 2010. A pilot type program is scheduled to start in one county within the next month or two. If the system works as expected, more sheriffs will start implementing the system shortly.
Once we have a date as to when Centre County will start the new system it will be posted on this site.
If you have a Florida permit, you're covered for PA as well.

While it's more money, I would go the FL route on this.
This. While PA had an allure for its low cost an ease of application, it looks like that is now gone. FL is the more comprehensive license and can be obtained without setting foot in the state.

Sir,
Can you tell me if renewals of a PA LTC will require non-residents to appear in person under the new law? Or will there be some alternate way of handling renewals (e.g. sending a scanned copy of MA DL, sending scanned picture, etc. via Email or other)?

It appears that everyone will need to appear in person. I am trying to see if there is an alternative. keep checking my web site www.dennynau.com where I will post information.

I e-mailed the PSP and point blank asked about them understanding the AG's opinion re non-resident licenses. They responded in the affirmative.Maybe . . . The PA AG says so, but PA SP (last I heard) around Philly had other ideas and arrested and charged people that shouldn't have been charged. $26 is cheap insurance for now and I do NOT know if PA SP "got the memo" and are currently abiding by it.

As for the Filthydelphia police, all bets are off.
Where do you monitor to find out stuff like this? USACarry or similar? I'm not on enough of the boards. I agree $26 is cheap insurance.
The settlements the Philadelphia PD had to pay have hopefully been an educational experience for all involved.

The PA license is accepted by a few states, but most applicants are people who travel to PA.
The Utah permit is still very popular in the Northeast due to reciprocity. I have 31 people signed up so far for a Feb. 13th course in western MA.
"...on three or more separate occasions within a fiveyear period."
Well, I mailed my app and check on 1/29/11 and my PA permit was approved on 2/1/11 and received today (2/4)! WOW! Talk about speedy.
Is it legally acceptable for me to make a photo-reduced copy of the LTC and laminate it to carry on my person, or does PA law require that I only carry the original as issued (which as you know is too big to fit in a wallet)?
Len you can reduce and laminate or fold in half with all data showing and then laminate.
