Have DE CCW. Question about obtaining PA non-res
« on: December 27, 2013, 03:01:49 PM »
I'm think about a FL non-res along with a PA non-res for coverage.

First Am I going about it right?  And if so, is this still the closest option since we can no longer mail?  (I'm in the Pike Creek area)

Thanks, folks!

It's been my experience and the experience of many others here that Lancaster is the quickest and easiest route to take. In and out in half an hour or less. Lots of good places to eat there also.

Good deal.  Thanks for the posts.  Perhaps the link could be updated for the PA sticky?

My vote is for Lancaster County. Now here's the plan. Tell your wife you are taking her to the Lancaster outlets shopping. Drive directly to Duke St. in Lancaster. Go to the Court House. Empty your pockets into the little basket going through security. Make a right and go down the hall and turn left into the Sheriffs Office. Tell one of the smiling friendly ladies You would like to apply for  a Pa Non- Resident CC permit. Tell them you are from Delaware and watch the smile on their face. (One suggestion: I filled out the application on-line and waited to sign it in their presence) That made them really happy because they didn't have to explain it again.
Show them your De. Drivers permit, and your DECCW, along with $20.00. She will take all and go make a phone call after asking you to be seated. Next she will call you back to the desk and tell you to go see the lady taking pictures. She will ask you to read and verify the info on the permit , take your picture and seal it in a laminated cover, hand it to you and thank you . 20 minutes, your out of there Happy, Happy, Happy.
Now if you have time, take your wife to the outlets, after all, that is why you went to Lancaster isn't it?

It's very important to verify the information while you're there. I checked mine out when we stopped at Wesley's on the way home and noticed it said Middletown, PA, Not Middletown, DE.  >:(

Also it might be wise to have a few references with phone numbers on hand (maybe addresses too).  They asked me and I gave them a few people who I used for my DE CCDW

It also helps them if you make copies of your DE. drivers license and DE. ccdw permit (both sides each) preferably on same sheet of paper. Makes them happy. They will also give you a copy of the Pa. ccdw reciprocity list with other states. You may have to ask for it.

With Delaware and PA. permits you will be covered for about 29 states. And NO Maryland is not covered, bast---ds

Most all states the issue CCW for non-residents have the online. I got my PA. application there and had it all filled out when I got there. If you are going in person, wait and sign it in front of them. If sending by mail, of course you have to sign it .

Fellas,

Myself and couple other guys made the trek to Lancaster this past weekend.  In and out in no time.  Surprisingly great service for a government entity.  They seemed genuinely happy to see us and were even cracking jokes.  This was a stark contrast from Northern DE's judgmental and condescending service.

Needless to say, thank you all for taking the time to post and share your experience.

Like Leland_7  said, Lancaster county Sheriff's Office is the place to go. Friendly people, quick service. Only bad thing is it's hard to find free parking. I'm cheap, so I went about 4 blocks south of the Courthouse building and turned on a street that had a few free spots and walked back to the Courthouse.
The people there think it's funny that it is so hard and expensive to get a DECCW.

For what it's worth, we pulled into a nice parking deck that was $2 for the first hour.  I believe it was connected to a place called Federal Brew?  From there it's a short walk (5 min max) to the sheriff's office.  $2 ain't bad.

Just remember to pay for your ticket on the ground level prior to returning.

My wife and I just took the trip to Lancaster today.  We found a meter on the very next cress street past the court house for $1. 

Luckily my wife had some cash with her...the $20 fee to the Sherriff's office is cash or money order only! 

Very nice people, in and out in less than 20 minutes with permit in hand.  In the 20 minutes we saw 10 others there for the same reason.
