Pennsylvania non resident ltc

[Broc]

Planning a trip this summer through PA. Am I good with an NH license in PA?

Get an appointment and stop to get your PA license while you are there. It takes 5 minutes.

I was supposed to send a copy of my renewed Mass LTC so my PA Non-Resident permit would stay active. Can't find the paperwork. Anyone have any info on this. Did it in York County.

Here's what they gave me when I renewed this summer.
Since the lady behind the counter circled the email and phone #, I assume that's how you notify them.

Thank you!!! I completely forgot to send that in. Just did now. You're a life saver.

Just received an email from them stating that they received my pdf file and I’m all set. Thx again..

better hurry, many counties now NOT issuing non-res permits, and some are apply in person only.

Any idea which counties are issuing?

CORRECTION:
York Lancaster county was doing it last summer. No reason to think they've stopped.

Is that much different than any time in the last decade?

Yeah, many of the sheriff's dept's are using Covid as the reason for so many new non-res applications.

Isn't York the Pittsburgh county? They are in person only for both the application and getting the permit. Long drive 30-60 days apart

I visited Washington, PA on business a few months ago. Stopped by the Sheriff's office got my picture taken and out the door in 8 min. Got the PA LTC in the mail 12 days after. Hilarious how MA towns cuck us this hard on renewals.

Can't drive much further than that in PA if you're not already in the area.

Outside of very ultra liberal enclaves like Philly/Pittsburgh, isn't it extremely easy to get a PA LTC? Anywhere in the Lehigh Valley should do.

It's county-by-county in PA. Some don't give out non-res licenses at all. Lackawanna used to be very easy but during COVID they stopped accepting walk-ins so you have to go there to apply and then come back once approved. I went through Luzerne this past summer - online application, 15min in-person appointment, very easy process.

MY brother lives near King of Prussia, so I figured I could make a trip of picking up the permit, but no one nearby seems to do online applications, if they do non-res at all. Maybe its just too close to Philadelphia. Pittsburgh area is processing non-res, just completely in -person.

I think PA is just one of those states where they make you visit in person to get the non-res LTC for the most part.

Pennsylvania is the least hassle free LTC to get @ $20 for five years…we always went to Luzerne County

No, they are south of Harrisburg. Online apply and pick up in person

I've had non-res from Centre County for a long time. Last Sheriff (Denny Nau) was super pro-guns, and by reports so is the current guy. A year or so ago, I renewed mine and got original for my wife, and we were out of the office, permits in hand, in about 20-30 minutes, including some chit-chat about best and worst places to have lunch. So far as I know, nothing has changed in Centre County.

I pulled off I-80 for gas in Snow Shoe once and the attendant was carrying. So was I.

I'm getting ready to apply at the Adam's County Sheriff's Office which is listed as being 1.5 miles from Gettysburg National Park where I am staying in the area for a week. Their website says it costs $26.13 for 5 years.
Adams County PA - LicensetoCarry.

Read thread. We posted several times.

Unfortunate if you are in Scranton anyway. However, Centre County in small town Bellefonte PA was way easier. No big city parking garage to find, no emptying your pockets and passing through magnetometers, no elevator to the 8th floor and waiting in a line.

I know. I am replying to a two-year-old thread. Not the worst I’ve ever seen on this site.

I just wanted to thank you and tell you how easy it was. I filled out the application beforehand, which you can get online. I brought in a $20 bill, my drivers license, and my home state permit. The lady at the front desk was super nice. She had me sit down and processed everything. Then she told me to smile as she had a camera aimed at me and she took my picture. How about three minutes later the permit was in my hand. Total time in the station was less than 10 minutes. The lady at the desk could not have been nicer. She even offered me a list of local restaurants.

The only tough part was there was a walk up the hill to the sheriffs office due to some construction at the courthouse. I instantly regretted every Marlborough I had ever smoked.
