If anything, the non-resident process in any state should be
harder than for residents, if only because a resident has a local address and (usually) a driver's license.
It makes me angry that my boy, an Iraq War vet, should have a harder time getting his permit in Philly than I did getting mine from Centre County by mail.
Maybe when (or if) the NRA gets done suing Illinois, they can go after Philadelphia County... or maybe they should tackle Maryland and NJ first.
