Ok so everyone is right when they say how nice the folks are up in Lancaster Sheriffs office!
What a beautiful ride it was on Wednesday. Dropped the kid off at the school bus stop and did a few things around the house. At about 10:30am I jumped on the bike for the ride up. I got there and found parking right out front of the building on Duke St. A security guard happened to be walking by heading in and asked about the bike so we walked in together. Went through security with helmet, keys, hydration backpack, bike jacket, Adv boots with metal buckles and eating a snack at at the same time. Dropped everything but snack on belt to go through the scanner. I walked through beeping. He and I never stopped chatting. I showed my boots and the buckles, said later and walked down the hall to the Sheriff office.
Walked in and gave my paperwork, ID and payment to the lady and talked to her for a few minutes. Pleasent and talkative all the staff were. Paperwork took like 2-3 minutes then the background check. Normal one you all get done was like 3 or 4 minutes but I also had to wait on the immigration background check as well so 20 minutes later it passed and I went down the counter and had my photo done. Btw, we're now permitted to smile for them. 😜 Just 60 seconds later I'm passed my PA permit and everyone said have a nice day as I'm leaving! Like WOW What a great place! Lol
Heading out the guard started talking to me again for a few minutes before I had to leave. Made the ride back home to pickup my son at the bus stop with about 3 minutes to spare! 😄
Likely drive back up soon with the wife so she can get hers also.
