Got my PA Permit!
« on: June 15, 2013, 03:30:14 PM »
I went to Lancaster county sheriff office yesterday 6/14 and was in and out in 15 minutes.  According to the guy doing it I broke a record for fastest approval time, I guess PA likes me.  I also chose this county so the family could stop at Dutch wonderland on the way home.  All around easy experience capped with a family fun day!

I was in and out in the same time when I went to the Reading airport.
Only down side is the 1.5hr dive each way for 15 minutes.

I did the same as Trapper last week.  I think it comes down to what else do you want to do in PA for the day

I got my PA permit yesterday in Lancaster. I was in and out in 15 minutes. Very easy, no hassles. Much better than waiting the 5 months for Delaware's.

Think I'm heading up to Lancaster today to get my PA permit.  Hopefully the 15-20 minute stories still hold true!

10-15 minutes still sounds better than 5 weeks.  Glad I made the drive.

When I talked to them, they said Monday to Friday 8:30 to 5:00.
Can't hurt to call and ask though.
